Kristuksen kirkastus, Ikaalisten kirkon alttaritaulun luonnos

Berndt Abraham Godenhjelm is an artist. 18 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

This artist painted portraits and religious scenes in 19th-century Finland. Try his Self-Portrait to see his direct gaze, or peek at his sketches for Vihdin church’s Resurrection of Christ. His work sits between folk art and early realism, where faces and faith feel close to home. Tap Aleksanteri II’s Portrait next to compare a royal image to his softer spiritual studies.
