This powerful and haunting picture is among the ambitious Symbolist compositions that established Hodler’s fame in Europe around 1900, on a par with Edvard Munch and Gustav Klimt. When the painting was first shown during the Swiss national exhibition in Geneva in 1896, critics detected an ironic edge, perhaps because of its venue: a theater associated with the satirical journal Le Sapajou. Hodler’s suggestive vision of naked women may have been a rejoinder to officials who objected to the display of his painting The Night (1889–90; Kunstmuseum Bern), finding its seminude, male and female figures excessively erotic.

In the year 1896 Ferdinand Hodler made the modern art artwork called "The Dream of the Shepherd (The Dream of the Shepherd)".
