Portrait of Hugo Simberg

Grand Duchy of Finland

Hugo Simberg is a Grand Duchy of Finland Symbolism artist. 23 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Hugo Simberg painted dreamy scenes full of quiet mystery in late 1800s Finland. He made both paintings and intricate metalworks, often showing lone figures near water or forests. Look for *Pelko metsässä* in the bundle—a spooky little forest scene in metal. Or try *Rannalla*, a painting of a person standing by a misty shore, lost in thought. If you like these, tap *Hiekkaranta, Niemenlautta* next to see another of his waterfront mood pieces.
