1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kaarle-herttua herjaa Klaus Flemingin ruumista is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man in fancy armor and a blue sash standing over an open chest. Around him, a group of people in old-fashioned clothes watch closely. The room looks old, with rough stone walls and a brick floor. The man holds a cloth draped over something inside the chest, while others stand nearby, some looking down or holding books. The artist paid extra attention to the way light hits the armor and faces, making some parts glow. The dark background makes the people and chest stand out. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
