Autumn, the five crosses is a 1902 oil by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Sparebankstiftelsen DNB’s collection.
In this painting, a group of five crosses stands on a hill, surrounded by a few trees with yellow leaves. The ground is covered in a thin layer of snow, and the sky above is a dull grey. In the distance, a body of water stretches out, meeting the horizon. The artist's use of tempera gives the painting a unique texture and depth. The colors are muted, with shades of grey, brown, and yellow dominating the palette.
