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.
