unspecified
From the collection of Gallen-Kallela Museum
Hevostutkielma is an unspecified by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting Work of Art, held at Gallen-Kallela Museum.
This painting shows a horse standing still, facing forward. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, with lots of brown and green colors. The horse’s body is mostly one shade, but its legs and mane are lighter. The painting looks unfinished—like the artist might have stopped mid-stroke. The background is just a mix of dark and light patches, not a real landscape. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
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.
