{"product_id":"self-portrait-ferdinand-hodler","title":"Self-portrait - Ferdinand Hodler","description":"\u003cp\u003eA self-portrait by Ferdinand Hodler, painted in 1900, captures the artist with a steady gaze and careful attention to detail, rendered in a palette of muted tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFerdinand Hodler (1853-1918) was a Swiss painter, considered one of the most important artists of his country. He developed a style known as Parallelism, which emphasised symmetry and the arrangement of figures in rhythmic poses to convey a sense of unity and order. Hodler's work often explored themes of death, love, and nature, reflecting a deep engagement with the human condition and the natural world. \n\nThis self-portrait, created in 1900, presents Hodler in a direct, unidealised manner. The artist's gaze is steady, his features rendered with careful attention to detail. The palette is restrained, dominated by muted tones of beige, grey, and brown, which contribute to the work's introspective mood. Hodler's beard, a focal point of the composition, is depicted with a mix of brown and red hues, adding warmth to the otherwise cool colour scheme. The brushwork is visible, adding a sense of immediacy and texture to the painting. The overall effect is one of quiet intensity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the artist's inner world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-aventine-from-the-palatine-walter-crane\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Aventine from the Palatine - Walter Crane — Walter Crane\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ashes-edvard-munch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAshes - Edvard Munch — Edvard Munch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ferdinand Hodler","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679004827983,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679006892367,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679006925135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679006957903,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679006990671,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-portrait_Poster_CompositorV1_1778632327445.jpg?v=1778633053","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/self-portrait-ferdinand-hodler","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
