His works have a monumental effect. In landscapes and large murals, he presented his mystical preoccupation with the power of nature and the plight of humanity. In his famous mural Night, the ominous figure of Nightmare hovers over a group of restless, sleeping nude figures. Hodler's alpine landscapes and vivid portraits, such as his intense “Self-Portrait” (left), (1891, Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva), relate him to the fauvists.
