拍品資料及來源
Barthélemy Menn war Hodlers Lehrer in den 1870er Jahren und förderte beim jungen Hodler das Verständnis für ein vom Motiv unabhängiges Bild- und Formdenken. Hodler legte zunehmend Wert auf einen konsequenten Umgang mit der Form. Vorliegend ist dies ersichtlich in der klaren Betonung der horizontalen Bildachse, welche die auf dem gegenüberliegenden Ufer des Thunersees emporragenden Bergspitzen von Bluemlisalp und Niesen auf der Wasseroberfläche spiegelt. Mit einer subtilen Farbgebung und Lichtführung evoziert Hodler eine Atmosphäre von eindrücklicher Schönheit und Beschaulichkeit. Der Thunersee war für Hodler seit seinen frühen Anfängen als Malschüler von Ferdinand Sommer ein zentrales Bildmotiv und blieb dies während seiner ganzen Schaffenszeit. Lake Thun was a central motif throughout Hodler's career, starting from the early years when he was a student of Ferdinand Sommer and Barthelmy Menn. This masterpiece prefigures well-known later compositions depicting mountain views overlooking lakes and already includes all of the pictorial elements which would become predominant a few years later: the horizontal composition, repetition of forms and shades of blue colour.
