Today is the last day of our special month with the Finnish National Gallery's collection and on this occasion we present one of the most important Finnish artists—Akseli Gallen-Kallela. We hope you enjoyed it! 

Gallen-Kallela's work often fused elements of Romanticism and Realism, depicting both the stunning natural landscapes of Finland and scenes from Finnish folklore and mythology. His landscapes often show a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of Finland, with its expansive lakes, dense forests, and rugged terrain, painted with vibrant and emotive colors. The detailed portrayal of nature’s elements and vivid chromatic compositions are typical of Gallen-Kallela's works, expressing a profound connection between the Finnish identity and the natural world.
