"Entwurf Zu 'ruckzug Von Marignano', Um 1897 (1. Karton)" is a significant work by the renowned Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, created around 1897. Hodler, a pivotal figure in the transition from the 19th-century Symbolism to early 20th-century Modernism, is celebrated for his distinctive style that blends realism with symbolic and allegorical elements. This particular piece, whose title translates to "Design for 'Retreat from Marignano', circa 1897 (1st Cartoon)," is an illustrative example of Hodler's thematic and stylistic preoccupations during this period.

The work is a preparatory cartoon for a larger composition, reflecting Hodler's meticulous process of planning and conceptualizing his major works. The subject matter, the retreat from the Battle of Marignano, is rooted in Swiss history. The Battle of Marignano, fought in 1515, was a significant conflict between the Swiss Confederacy and the French forces, marking a pivotal moment in Swiss military history. Hodler's interest in this historical event underscores his broader engagement with themes of heroism, struggle, and national identity.

In "Entwurf Zu 'ruckzug Von Marignano'," Hodler employs his characteristic linear style and rhythmic composition to convey the dramatic and somber mood of the retreat. The figures in the cartoon are rendered with a sense of monumentality and pathos, reflecting the artist's ability to infuse historical subjects with emotional depth and symbolic resonance. This work exemplifies Hodler's skill in using composition and form to evoke a narrative that is both specific in its historical reference and universal in its exploration of human experience.

Hodler's preparatory cartoons are crucial for understanding his artistic process and the evolution of his major works. They offer insight into his method of developing complex compositions and his ability to convey profound themes through a synthesis of realism and symbolism. "Entwurf Zu 'ruckzug Von Marignano', Um 1897 (1. Karton)" stands as a testament to Hodler's enduring legacy in the canon of Swiss and European art.
