More about this artwork

"Kullervo Sets off for Battle" is a captivating fresco painting by the renowned Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, completed in 1901. This mesmerizing work depicts a powerful scene rooted in the Finnish epic, the Kalevala, showcasing the tragic hero Kullervo embarking on a journey that reverberates with themes of fate and retribution.In this painting, Gallen-Kallela masterfully portrays Kullervo as a formidable figure, his face marked by a mix of determination and sorrow, blowing a horn while mounted on a spirited horse. The horse, adorned with an ornate cover, strides forward, symbolizing the unstoppable march towards destiny. Accompanying Kullervo is a loyal wolf, running at his side, adding an element of wildness and companionship to the journey. The backdrop is painted with a deep blue, star-studded sky and a stark white, snow-covered landscape, reflecting the harsh, cold environment that underscores the overall mood of impending doom.Through his unique artistic style, Gallen-Kallela uses a blend of realism and symbolism to evoke deep emotional responses, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of Kullervo's character and his tragic fate.
