Poor Soul c. 1890 - A Glimpse into the Depths of Human Emotion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Ferdinand Hodler's masterpiece, "Poor Soul" painted in 1890. The oil on canvas composition measures an impressive 71.5 x 93.5 cm and bears the artist's signature and date, elegantly inscribed in the lower right corner: F. Hodler, 1891. Hodler, a renowned Swiss painter born in Bern in 1853, was known for his ability to capture profound human emotions through his art. In this particular piece, he delves deep into the soul of his subject—a figure shrouded in melancholy and despair. The painting exudes a sense of isolation as we gaze upon this "poor soul". With every brushstroke meticulously applied by Hodler's skilled hand, we witness an intense portrayal of inner turmoil and vulnerability that resonates even after more than a century. The somber color palette chosen by Hodler further enhances the emotional impact of the artwork. Shades of muted blues and grays envelop our senses while simultaneously inviting us to empathize with this tormented individual. As we contemplate this remarkable print from Liszt Collection—measuring at an impressive scale—we are transported back to a time when artistic expression served as a window into the human condition. Ferdinand Hodler's "Poor Soul" remains timeless—an enduring testament to both his talent as an artist and his ability to evoke powerful emotions
