unspecified
From the collection of Gallen-Kallela Museum
Alaston miesmalli is an unspecified by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting Work of Art, held at Gallen-Kallela Museum.
This painting shows a naked man standing sideways, one arm bent behind his head. His skin is painted in soft pinks and browns, with shadows darkening his armpits and groin. The background looks like rough, textured wood, and his feet rest on a faintly visible floor. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on his chest and legs, giving the skin a slightly raised look. His pose is relaxed but not stiff, with one hand resting on his hip. If you like this style, check out the technique: chiaroscuro.
Akseli Gallen-Kallela (born Axel Waldemar Gallén; 26 April 1865 – 7 March 1931) was a Finnish painter and a leading figure of Finnish romantic nationalism around the turn of the 20th century.
