Akseli Gallen-Kallela
Just discovered Finnish late 19th, early 20th century painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela:
Boy and Crow, 1884, 80 cm x 70 cm
"The Defense of the Sampo", 1896, 125 cm x 122 cm, tempera
Kullervo's Curse, 102.5 cm x 184 cm, oil
The last two paintings are illustrations from the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic poem.
