Ferdinand Hodler:  a magnificent artist, not as well known as he should be.  Here is what Wikipedia says:

"Ferdinand Hodler (1853 - 1918) was one of the best-known Swiss painters of the nineteenth century.  His early works were portraits, landscapes, and genre paintings in a realistic style.  Later, he adopted a personal form of symbolism which he called 'parallelism.'"
