"Entwurf zu 'Rückzug von Marignano', um 1897 (1. Karton)" is a significant work by the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, created around 1897. Hodler, a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement, is renowned for his distinctive style that often blends realism with symbolic and allegorical elements. This particular piece, which translates to "Sketch for 'Retreat from Marignano', circa 1897 (1st Cartoon)," is a preparatory drawing for a larger, more elaborate composition that Hodler envisioned.

The work reflects Hodler's deep interest in historical themes and his commitment to capturing the essence of human experience through dramatic and expressive forms. The Battle of Marignano, fought in 1515, was a significant conflict between the French and the Swiss, and it holds a notable place in Swiss history. Hodler's choice to depict the retreat from this battle underscores his fascination with moments of human struggle and perseverance.

In "Entwurf zu 'Rückzug von Marignano'," Hodler employs his characteristic linear style and rhythmic compositions to convey the tension and movement of the retreating soldiers. The use of a cartoon, or preparatory drawing, allowed Hodler to experiment with the arrangement of figures and the overall composition before committing to the final painting. This method was typical of his meticulous approach to large-scale works, ensuring that each element contributed to the overall narrative and emotional impact.

Hodler's work during this period is marked by a synthesis of naturalistic detail and symbolic abstraction, aiming to evoke a deeper, almost spiritual response from the viewer. The "Entwurf zu 'Rückzug von Marignano'" stands as a testament to his skill in capturing the complexities of human emotion and historical significance through art. This piece not only highlights Hodler's technical prowess but also his ability to infuse historical events with a timeless, universal resonance.
