EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ferdinand Hodler's masterpiece, "Warrior with halberd" painted in 1898. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 204.5 x 107 cm and is housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. The painting serves as a design for the mural titled "Retreat of Marignano" displayed in the weapons hall of the National Museum in Zurich. It depicts a significant event from history - the Battle of Marignano that took place in 1515 during the War of the League of Cambrai phase of the Italian Wars. In this battle, which marked a turning point for Swiss confederacy, they were defeated by the Royal French army. Hodler's work captures both historical accuracy and artistic brilliance through his symbolic representation and parallelism. The warrior depicted stands tall with his halberd, a traditional Swiss weapon symbolizing strength and bravery. This Renaissance-inspired painting exemplifies Hodler's mastery as a symbolist artist, showcasing intricate details and meticulous brushwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era filled with valorous battles and political turmoil. It reminds us not only of Switzerland's rich history but also highlights art's ability to immortalize significant events for generations to come.
