More about this artwork
"First Snow," a striking painting by Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, captures the delicate moment when autumn's vibrant palette begins to surrender to the purity of winter's first snowfall. Painted between 1890 and 1915, this work presents an enchanting scene of snow-dusted trees, set against a backdrop of melting yellows and golds.The artist uses expressive brushwork to evoke the soft texture of the falling snow and the lingering warmth of the autumn leaves. The contrast of the bright yellow leaves against the stark white snow highlights the fleeting transition from one season to another.Gallen-Kallela skilfully portrays the serene atmosphere and the crisp, chilly air, inviting the viewer to experience the quiet and almost magical transformation of nature.
