More about this artwork

Dive into the rich tapestry of Finnish folklore with Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s woodcut print titled "The Great Kalevala". This artwork, created between 1906 and 1930, captures a visually striking scene from the national epic of Finland, the Kalevala.In the print, we witness the legendary figure Väinämöinen, a central character synonymous with wisdom and magic, whose presence is depicted symbolically. Dominating the foreground is an imposing eagle, its feathers detailed in a mix of earthy and vibrant hues suggesting a connection to the natural world prevailing in Finnish mythology. The background subtly unfolds into a landscape of serene blues and greens, evoking Finland's expansive skies and dense forests.This piece is not just an artistic representation but also a conduit of the deep mythological roots and cultural pride of Finland. Gallen-Kallela’s use of the woodcut technique adds a raw, organic quality to the print, mirroring the rustic and untamed spirit of the Kalevala tales.
