unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kaksi poikaa rannalla is an unspecified by Pekka Halonen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows two boys by a rocky shore. One sits bent over, hands near the water, his back turned to us. The other stands, leaning on a large rock, looking down. Their skin is pale, clothes dark, and the rocks around them are rough and gray. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the boys’ skin and the rocks, giving the scene a textured feel. The light hits their faces and the water, but the rest stays shadowy. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint like this works.
Pekka Halonen (23 September 1865 – 1 December 1933) was a Finnish painter of landscapes and people in the national romantic and Realist styles.
