Maisema Suomenlinnasta is an unspecified by Juho Salminen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a rocky shoreline with a few small buildings huddled together. The colors are mostly muted—dull browns, grays, and greens—with a pale blue sky above. A small boat sits near the water’s edge, and the brushstrokes look rough and quick, like the artist worked fast. The buildings have a simple, almost fortress-like shape, with flat roofs and small windows. The rocks near the water are jagged and uneven, painted in thick, uneven strokes. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
Finnish painter Juho Salminen made quiet, detailed pictures of everyday life in the early 1900s.
