unspecified
From the collection of Gallen-Kallela Museum
Ratsumiehiä talon pihalla is an unspecified by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting History, held at Gallen-Kallela Museum.
This painting shows a snowy village street with people and horses. The buildings have snow on their roofs, and the sky is pale blue. A few folks walk or stand around, some wearing heavy coats and hats. One person is leading a horse, and another holds a long stick. The scene looks like everyday life in a cold place. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show texture, especially in the snow and clothing. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
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.
