More about this artwork

Koru-Kalevala captures a moment from the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, illustrating Poem XXVI with raw emotion and dramatic tension. In this evocative artwork by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a renowned artist closely associated with the Finnish national identity, we observe a dynamic and expressive scene rendered in bold strokes and a monochrome palette.The left side of the composition depicts a group of figures huddled together, their faces etched with apprehension or intent, peering toward the central spectacle. This crowd, characterized by quick, sketch-like lines, provides a stark contrast to the detailed depiction of the figures in the foreground.To the right stands a dramatic portrayal of another group of characters. Prominent here is a figure in an elaborate, textured robe, giving an animated performance or proclamation, which is central to this scene. This figure's commanding presence is complemented by another character, slightly shrouded in shadow, who may be reacting to the situation at hand.Each character in this sketch seems to pulsate with life, suggesting a moment of significant narrative intrigue and intensity.
