"Day (Truth)" is a symbolist painting by the Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, created in 1898. This is one of Hodler's most renowned works, emblematic of his transition into symbolic and allegorical subjects.

The painting features a dawn scene of a nude woman standing erect in the midst of a formation alpine peaks. She is surrounded by five figures drawn in various stages of waking from sleep. The dominant female figure depicts awakening truth, emerging from the darkness of ignorance represented by the sleeping figures and reaching for the rays of the sun, symbolizing illumination.

The painting's composition draws attention to the central idea of enlightenment, as the figures, each drawn with Hodler's characteristic attention to detail and humanistic verity, transition from sleep to wakefulness. The allegory represented here is a chief example of Hodler's fascination with the themes of life, death, and the blending of spiritual and physical spheres.

The color palette showcases Hodler's preference for realistic yet emotive hues, playing into the symbolic dichotomy between light and dark which is integral to the painting's thematic structure. The selection of the alpine scenery, reflects the artist's affinity for Switzerland's natural landscape, which heavily influenced his works throughout his career.

"Day (Truth)" now resides in the Kunstmuseum Bern in Switzerland, where it continues to intrigue art scholars and influence successive generations of artists with its potent symbolism and striking use of color and form.
