More about this artwork

"Kullervo Sets Off For Battle" is a captivating painting completed in 1901 by Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela. Depicting a scene from the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, this artwork portrays Kullervo, a tragic hero, as he ventures forth into battle. Gallen-Kallela's brush strokes bring to life the dark, emotive skies symbolizing the heavy burden of Kullervo's destiny. The hero is seen mounted on a robust horse, blowing a traditional Finnish horn that echoes his resolve and the impending doom he faces. Accompanying him is a faithfully depicted wolf, matching his pace and adding a stark layer of wildness and loyalty to the composition.Kullervo himself is presented in a moment of fierce determination and energy, his expression is one of both wrath and sadness, suggesting the deep complexities of his character and fate. The painting's icy backdrop, adorned with a snowy landscape under a night sky, further accentuates the chilling prospect of the battle ahead.
