"Knabe An Der Quelle" (translated as "Boy at the Spring") is a notable painting by the Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, created in 1886. Hodler, a prominent figure in the Swiss Symbolist movement, is renowned for his distinctive style that often merges realism with symbolic elements, and "Knabe An Der Quelle" is a quintessential example of this synthesis.

The painting depicts a young boy, nude, kneeling by a spring in a serene, natural setting. The boy's posture and the tranquil environment evoke a sense of innocence and purity, themes that are recurrent in Hodler's oeuvre. The composition is marked by its simplicity and the harmonious balance between the figure and the landscape, reflecting Hodler's interest in the natural world and his philosophical musings on the human condition.

Hodler's use of light and color in "Knabe An Der Quelle" is particularly noteworthy. The soft, diffused light bathes the scene, enhancing the ethereal quality of the painting. The palette is dominated by earthy tones and muted greens, which further emphasize the connection between the boy and his natural surroundings. This careful attention to color and light not only highlights Hodler's technical skill but also serves to underscore the symbolic resonance of the scene.

"Knabe An Der Quelle" is also significant within the context of Hodler's broader body of work. It exemplifies his transition from a more traditional realist approach to a style that increasingly incorporated symbolic and allegorical elements. This shift is reflective of the broader Symbolist movement in Europe during the late 19th century, which sought to explore deeper truths and universal themes through art.

The painting is housed in the Kunstmuseum Bern, one of Switzerland's most prestigious art institutions. It continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of Hodler's development as an artist. "Knabe An Der Quelle" remains a poignant testament to Hodler's ability to capture the delicate interplay between humanity and nature, and it holds a revered place in the canon of Swiss art.
