1919
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Holvi Semurista is a 1919 unspecified by Yrjö Ollila, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a dimly lit archway leading to a small shop. A person in dark clothes kneels on the left, holding a bucket. The shop door is open, revealing a sign that says "COURS" and another yellow sign with text. Above the arch, two circular designs and a small painted scene of people sit on the wall. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. The lighting focuses on the shop’s entrance, making it stand out against the darker archway. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Yrjö Aleksanteri Ollila (20 July 1887, Helsinki – 14 November 1932, Helsinki) was a Finnish Impressionist painter, designer and muralist.
