More about this artwork

This evocative piece, titled "Portrait of Artist Magnus Enckell," was painted in 1915 by Alfred William Finch. The portrait captures Enckell, a fellow artist and Finch's contemporary, in a contemplative side profile that suggests a depth of thought and emotion. The use of thick, expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant yet limited palette of warm yellows and earthy tones enhances the intensity of the subject's expression and features.Enckell, known for his contributions to the Symbolist movement in Finnish art, is depicted with a strong yet serene presence. The painting's textured background of golden hues complements the somber colors of Enckell's attire, emphasizing his introspective demeanor. This portrait not only showcases Finch's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects but also hints at the respect and intellectual bond between these two artists.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
