Astereita is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a bright bouquet of flowers in a simple frame. The colors pop—reds, pinks, yellows—with some green leaves mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the flowers a lively, almost textured look. The artist’s name is signed in the corner, but it’s hard to read. This painting is actually a photograph, not a traditional painting. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
Wendla Irene Soldan-Brofeldt, known as Venny (2 November 1863, Helsinki – 10 October 1945, Lohja) was a Finnish painter, illustrator, graphic artist, wood sculptor and jewelry designer.
