Galatean riemusaatto, kopio Rafaelin (Raffaello Sanzio) mukaan is an unspecified by Nils Jakob Olsson Blommér, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a wild ocean scene with gods and sea creatures. A woman in red stands center, holding a red cloth like a sail, with one arm raised. Around her, half-naked figures ride sea creatures—some hold tridents, others play instruments. Above, four winged boys float, shooting arrows. The sky is bright with clouds, and the water churns below. The woman’s face looks calm, even as the scene around her is chaotic. The red cloth she holds is the only still, solid color in the stormy mix. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow this way.
Nils Jakob Olsson Blommér never traveled further than his studio in Stockholm, yet his walls are full of Italian harbors and Tuscan hills.
