unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kalastajapoika is an unspecified by Verner Thomé, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a person in a dark cap and coat, sitting still with a neutral look. The background is blurry, with bold patches of orange, green, and blue. Brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the colors pop. The face stands out against the messy background, almost like it’s the only clear part. The artist used thick paint—you can almost see the texture. Next, look up impasto to see how this technique works.
Verner Thomé (4 July 1878 – 1 June 1953) was a Finnish Post-Impressionist graphic artist. He was influenced by Vitalism a German-Scandinavian movement that incorporated Nietzsche's philosophy.
