Ateneum
From the collection of Finnish Heritage Agency
Ateneum is a work by Erkki Voutilainen, held at Finnish Heritage Agency.
You see a drawing of a scene at the Ateneum art school. The students are learning and getting feedback from their teacher. This drawing is interesting because it shows a moment in time when students are getting instructions from a painter, which gives us a glimpse into the learning process. You can learn more about the artist's style by looking into the technique of cross-hatching.
