Biography
Barthélemy Bodmer, born in 1848, approached painting with delicate observation, honoring the play of light on the Swiss countryside and the quiet dignity of everyday life.
His canvases carried a poetic calm, and when he died in 1904 the Cemetery of Kings became the final resting place for an artist who celebrated gentleness in his work.
