Summary
Famous for inspiring the first identifiable landscape in the history of art (Konrad Witz's La Pêche miraculeuse, 1444), Lake Geneva - "lac Léman" in French - has occupied a special and sometimes surprising place in the work of artists over the centuries. At the heart of Europe and on the road to Italy, the immense lake offers two distinct perspectives to the passing traveller: viewed from the adjoining heights, the combination of water and mountains and the distinct curvature of the topography evoke a kind of "global landscape" depicted by artists such as Turner, Hodler, Kokoschka and Duchamp. Yet this "mirror on the world" is at the same time a "mirror on humankind". Exhibition: Musée Jenisch, Vevey, Switzerland (21.06.-13.10.2013).
