In literature serious attention is rarely paid to the theme of "the boy in art," although many artists used and still use boys as a medium for their message. By a detailed analysis of the symbolism in a series of paintings by Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918), the author attempts a reinterpretation of the pictures this Swiss artist made of his young son Hector. The author rejects traditional Freudian speculations and uses a hitherto neglected and repudiated source for understanding Hodler's symbolism, the social and artistic ideas of a circle of Rosicrucians to which the painter adhered.
在文学领域，“艺术中的男孩”这一主题很少受到认真关注，尽管许多艺术家过去和现在都将男孩作为传达其信息的媒介。通过对费迪南德·霍德勒（1853 - 1918）一系列画作中象征意义的详细分析，作者试图重新解读这位瑞士艺术家为其幼子赫克托创作的画作。作者摒弃了传统的弗洛伊德式推测，而是运用了一个迄今被忽视和摒弃的来源来理解霍德勒的象征意义，即这位画家所归属的玫瑰十字会圈子的社会和艺术观念。
