unspecified
From the collection of Gallen-Kallela Museum
Död tjäder is an unspecified by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting Work of Art, held at Gallen-Kallela Museum.
This painting shows a dead bird with its wings spread open. The feathers are dark brown and black, with some white and gray mixed in. The background is a rough, earthy color, like dirt or old paper, with loose brushstrokes. The bird’s feathers are painted in thick, uneven strokes, giving it a raw, textured look. The artist’s signature is in the corner, along with a date that’s hard to read. Next, check out the technique: impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s feel.
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.
