''Holzfaller'' (English: ''The Woodcutter'') is an iconic painting by Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, created in 1910. This work is considered one of Hodler's most significant contributions to Symbolism and Art Nouveau. It depicts a solitary figure of a woodcutter, captured in a moment of strenuous physical labor against a simplified, almost abstract background. The painting is renowned for its rhythmic composition, the use of repetitive lines, and a restricted color palette, which are characteristic of Hodler's mature style.

In ''Holzfaller,'' Hodler employs his principle of "parallelism," a technique he developed to bring a sense of order and harmony to the composition. This is achieved through the repetition of forms and lines that echo the woodcutter's posture and the trees in the background. The figure is shown in a dynamic, diagonal orientation, which conveys movement and the physical exertion of his task. Hodler's focus on the woodcutter as a subject reflects his interest in the dignity of labor and the connection between man and nature, themes that were prevalent in the social and artistic discourse of the early 20th century.

The painting is also notable for its exploration of the human condition, with the woodcutter serving as a metaphor for human struggle and perseverance. Hodler's treatment of the subject goes beyond a simple portrayal of a laborer at work; it is imbued with a sense of monumentality and timelessness, elevating the everyday act of cutting wood to a universal symbol of human endeavor.

''Holzfaller'' is held in high esteem both for its aesthetic qualities and for its representation of Hodler's philosophical and artistic ideals. The work is part of the Kunsthaus Zürich collection, one of Switzerland's most important museums of fine arts, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the development of modern art.
