unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kolme soittajaa, osaluonnos kansallisteatterin Helkajuhlat freskoa varten is an unspecified by Juho Rissanen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Three older men walk through a wooded area. One plays a violin, another a flute, and the third blows into a wooden pipe. The trees are tall and thin, with bare branches that stretch across the sky. The men wear simple clothes—dark coats and hats—and look focused on their music. The painting’s brushstrokes are thick, especially on the trees and clothing, giving the scene a textured feel. The lighting is soft, with shadows under the men’s chins and hats. Check out the technique: impasto for more on how thick paint creates this effect.
Juho Rissanen (1873–1950) was an artist, born in Kuopio.
