Switzerland Guide
Solothurn
Kunstmuseum
Highlights of the Kunstmuseum's surprisingly good collection are Holbein's Solothurner Madonna (1522), on a panel backed by the Madonna in the Strawberries (1425), painted by the anonymous Master of the Garden of Paradise. Some spectacular Alpine canvases are led by Ferdinand Hodler's much-reproduced portrait of a Herculean William Tell emerging from a break in the clouds. One of Hodler's famous sequences of larger-than-life moving bodies decorates the stairs, while Klimt's luscious Goldfish is another highlight.
