From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Purren valitus is an unspecified by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a scene with dark colors and bold lines. It's a tempera on canvas work. The use of tempera gives the painting a unique texture, and it's interesting to see how the artist used this medium to create a dramatic effect, with the dark lines and shapes standing out against the lighter background. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: sfumato.
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.
