Finnish landscape painters. The most famous paintings by Finnish artists
The majestic building of the Academy of Arts adorns the Neva embankment between the 3rd and 4th lines of Vasilyevsky Island. It is one of the best monuments of classical architecture.
The authors of the project are A.F. Kokorinov and J.B. Delamotte. The Imperial "Academy of the Three Most Noble Arts" ("Kolmen paataiteen akatemia") - painting, sculpture and architecture - was founded in 1757 in the era of Queen Elizabeth. For two and a half centuries of its activity, the academy has brought up many generations of fine art masters: painters, sculptors, architects. Among them are great artists whose works are presented in the museums of St. Petersburg, Moscow and many European capitals.
Architects and sculptors - graduates of the Academy built and decorated many cities in Russia and abroad. Much was built by them in St. Petersburg. Their works are also in Finland, because for many years the Academy of Arts was a place of active communication between Russian and Finnish art. The best Finnish artists were awarded the title of "Academician of Fine Arts". Among them were V.Runeberg, KG.Nystrem. But the first, of course, should be named, AZdelfelt.
Albert Edelfelt (Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt, 1854-1905)
The largest master of historical painting, portrait, everyday genre. The first Finnish artist known abroad. Albert "was born near Porvoo in the family of an architect. He studied for two years at the University of Helsinki before he decided to devote himself to painting. He received his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, and then in Paris at the School of Fine Arts. a number of paintings on historical subjects... But then the artist turns to genre scenes from nature, in which his love for his native land and interest in the life of ordinary people are vividly manifested... These are paintings: "On the sea", "Boys by the water", "Women from Ruokolahti ”, “Washerwomen”, “Fishermen from distant islands”.
In 1881, A. Edelfelt lived and worked in St. Petersburg for a long time, communicating with Russian artists. In 1881, a young Finnish artist presented his work to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. He was a great success: he was elected a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. In Tsarskoye Selo, a personal exhibition was organized for him. One of the paintings was bought by the imperial family. The author received new orders from the royal family, which brought him fame.
During his stay in Tsarskoye Selo, the artist was introduced to Tsarevich Alexander, and made a number of works on his order for the Gatchina Palace, in particular, a copy of the painting "On the Sea", which, among his other works, is kept in the Hermitage. Edelfelt's everyday sketches: "Good friends" and "In the nursery" - were also acquired by Alexander III. These paintings had repetitions that are in foreign museums.
The merit of Edelfelt was the organization of a number of joint exhibitions in Russia, thanks to which the Russian public got acquainted with the work of many Finnish artists.
Edelfelt's main activity can be called portrait painting. He worked a lot on orders, in particular, the royal court, creating official portraits. But the best in his portrait work are: "Portrait of the Artist's Mother" (1883), "Louis Pasteur" (1885), "Portrait of Larin Paraske" (1893), "Portrait of Aino Akte" (1901).
Official presentations and long-term friendly contacts.
The first Finnish artist to exhibit at the Imperial Academy of Arts at the end of the nineteenth century was the painter Albert Edelfelt. After a trip to Western Europe in 1881, the young Finnish artist presented his work to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. He was a great success - he was awarded the title of academician. In Tsarskoye Selo, a personal exhibition was organized for him. One of the paintings was bought by the imperial family.
The author received new orders from the royal family, which brought him fame. The proximity of the artist to the imperial family helped the popularity of Finnish painting in Russia. Thanks to the popularity and authority of A. Edelfelt in Russia, the art of Finland was reflected in joint Finnish-Russian art exhibitions in St. Petersburg and Moscow, starting from the Nizhny Novgorod exhibition in 1882.
Finnish artists in the Hermitage
The Hermitage has seven paintings by AEdelfelt and a number of drawings. In addition to the mentioned painting “On the Sea”, which in the first version is in the Gothenburg Museum, it should be noted the everyday painting composition “Good Friends” (1881), repetitions of which are in Gothenburg and Helsinki. Close to her in character is the painting “In the Nursery” (1885), also bought by Alexander III for the Gatchina Palace. One of the most democratic works of Edelfelt is the painting "Washerwomen" (1898, Hermitage), which was approved by Petersburg critics.
The portrait genre, in which AEdelfelt was especially strong, is represented in the Hermitage by a portrait of the wife of the Moscow Art Theater actor M.V. Dyakovskaya-Gay-mouth. The Hermitage collection also contains examples of the Finnish artist's landscape skills. These are the canvas "View of Porvoo" (1898) and the etching "Pine in the snow". It should be mentioned that the works of AEdelfelt are also stored in the Kiev Museum - the painting "Fishermen from Distant Islands" and in the Moscow Museum. A.S. Pushkin: "Portrait of Varvara Myatleva".
In addition, the Hermitage has paintings by Juho Risanen, Eero Nelimark and Henry Erickson.
Finnish artists at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts
The architect K. G. Nystrem (1856-1917) made a great contribution to the architectural appearance of the capital of Finland. Suffice it to name the luxurious buildings of the House of Estates, the State Archives, decorating the surroundings of the Senate Square. One can recall the former customs house and warehouse in Katajanokka, the first indoor market near Kauppa-tori. But few people know that the architect KG.Nystrem also worked in St. Petersburg. According to his project, the building of the surgical clinic of the Medical Institute on the Petrograd side was built.
Nystrom was a professor at the Academy of Arts, and was awarded the title of academician of architecture.
The artist J. Rissanen is called one of the most original, strong and deeply national talents in Finnish painting of the last century. He painted portraits, genre paintings from folk life. After studying at the drawing school in Helsinki, he was sent to study at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, where he took a course under the guidance of I.E. Repin in 1897-98. Studying in St. Petersburg, communication with Russian artists and the whole atmosphere of creative life in St. Petersburg, seething with passions, raised the artist's work to a new height. After that, he worked fruitfully in Finland and abroad for many years. It is worth telling more about his studies and life in St. Petersburg.
Rissanen Juho (Julio Rissanen, 1873-1950)
Juho Rissanen was born in the vicinity of Kuopio in the family of a farm laborer. As a child, he had a hard time, at times he even had to beg when his father, a drunkard, died (froze). In 1896, Juho Rissanen entered the Finnish Art Society's central art and industrial drawing school in Helsinki, then in Turku.
As a child, Rudolf Koivu attended the St. Petersburg parish church school, where he mastered Finnish and Russian literacy. Since childhood, he loved to draw and attracted the attention of teachers in St. Petersburg. He was sent to study, but he had to earn a living. And only in 1907, R. Koivu managed to continue his studies in painting at the drawing school of the Finnish Society of Art Lovers.
There he was a student of Huto Simberg, the author of the famous "Wounded Angel". H. Simberg inherited from his teacher Gallen-Kallela faith in fantasy and the mystical power of nature. Rudolf Koivu then studied in Paris in 1914, and in 1924 in Italy. Returning to Finland, he joined the "November Group" circle of artists, but remained true to the realistic manner and painted his landscapes in a restrained, calm style of impressionism. Much more important than a painter, Koivu was a draftsman and illustrator.
Showing an unusually lively and vivid imagination, he illustrated dozens of fairy tale books, including the Finnish Topelius "Reading to Children", German - "Tales of the Brothers Grimm", Arabic tales "The Thousand and One Nights of Scheherez-dy", etc. Koivu enjoyed illustrating Christmas newspapers, Finnish calendars and other publications, developing himself, clearly drawing influence primarily from Russian illustrators, a rare, effective, brightly decorated style. His sense of humor is manifested in addition to fabulous pictures and drawings, as well as in caricatures that were successful with his contemporaries. Unfortunately, a collection (collection) of his paintings and drawings came out after his death in 1947.
Shulman Carl Allan (Carl Allan Schulman, 1863-1937)
An architect, a man of bright talents and destiny. Carl Allan received his architectural education in Finland, having been imbued with the innovative ideas of young Finnish modernists during his studies: E. Saari-nen, G. Giselius, A. Lindren. He was attracted by modern ideas. Having not received orders at home, the young architect K.A. Shulman works abroad: in Argentina, Germany, Holland, Sweden.
Upon returning to his homeland, he got the opportunity to build the Khallila resort on the Karelian Isthmus. The success of this building attracted attention in St. Petersburg. In 1901, he was opposite the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God of Vladimir. 88 architects participated in the competition. As a result, the owner of the house, Baron von Besser, entrusted the construction to Shulman. The six-storey Art Nouveau house adorned the square with its unique color. The lower floors are opened by large openings of windows-showcases.
And on the upper floors there is an unusual gallery, above the center of which rises a turret similar to the helmet of a hero. The stone details of the building are made of Finnish potted stone. They give a pattern of ornamentation, characteristic of Art Nouveau, depicting plants and animals. Above the entrance - the coat of arms of the owner - Baron von Besser. At the beginning of the 20th century, this house housed the reception of the imperial office, as well as the "House of industriousness for women". Now the house on Vladimirskaya is being reconstructed. It will be part of the Vladimirsky Passage shopping complex.
The house on Vladimirskaya is the only building in St. Petersburg built by one of the founders of the Finnish school of northern modernism, which later became widespread in the northern capital.
Then it was presented and developed by St. Petersburg architects: Flidval, N.V. Vasiliev, A.F. Bubyr. As for K. Shulman, he worked for many years as a provincial architect in the city of Vyborg, where he created 10 multi-storey buildings in the northern modern style. In addition, K.A. Shulman was a prominent figure in the Finnish Union of Architects, he acted as a professional musician-conductor. Choral groups under his leadership performed with success in St. Petersburg, Finland and abroad.
Gripenberg Odert Sebastian (Odert Sebastian Gripenberg, 1850-1939)
Gripenberg Odert Sebastian, architect; Born in Kurkijoki. The son of wealthy and noble parents, Odert studied at the cadet school in Hamina, and then at the St. Petersburg Military Engineering Academy. There he received military construction training, but left the army in 1875. He decided to become a professional architect. During this period, new methods of building appeared in St. Petersburg architecture. Eclecticism - the use of techniques from previous eras: the Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque - was combined with the search for new decorative details for processing the facades of multi-storey buildings. These are the famous buildings of A.K. Serebryakov, P.Yu. Syuzor, A.E. Belogrud.
In 1878, Gripenberg defended his diploma as an architect at the Polytechnic School, after which he studied back in Vienna. In 1879-87. he worked as an architect in Helsinki. His first works reflect the craving for the Renaissance, and the obvious influence of his teacher Shes-trem. In the future, the desire for a pronounced strong breakdown and division of the volumes of the building is manifested. These are such works as the building of the Society of Finnish Writers, the First Business Center, then the old building of Helsingin Sanomat, the building of the Savings Bank of Turku.
In 1887, he was appointed chief architect of the Office of Public (Civil) Construction, from where in 1904 he moved to the Senate as director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Gripenberg was the head of the board of the Joint-Stock Company "Finnish Theater House" and the executive director during the creation of the building of the National Theater, and was also the chairman of the board of directors of the insurance company "Pohjola". OS Gripenberg was the first chairman of the Finnish club of architects in 1892-1901, as well as one of the founders of the Finnish-speaking society of technicians.
Albert Gustav Aristide Edelfelt (1854–1905)
Albert Edelfelt was born in 1854 in Finland near Porvo. His father was an architect. From his father, he adopted a love of music and drawing. However, the mother was the closest person to the future artist. Albert Edelfelt was in many ways the creation of his ambitious mother.

The boy received his first painting lessons at the school of the Finnish Art Society in Helsinki. Deciding to devote himself to painting, he enters the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, but a year later he moves to Paris, where he takes lessons from L. Jerome.
Realist representative. Experienced the influence of impressionism. The author of historical canvases, paintings from folk life, landscapes, portraits, marked by the freedom and expressiveness of the artistic form, the subtle transmission of the light-air environment, the festive brightness of color.
Already at the age of twenty-three, Edelfelt became the most prominent figure in Finnish painting and led the struggle of the younger generation of artists for realism and work from nature. Albert originally intended to become a history painter. Patriotic paintings were expected from him. The most famous painting of this plan was Duke Karl's Desecration of the Remains of C. Fleming (1878). This story highlights the struggle for power in Finland that unfolded at the end of the 16th century.

A wonderful play of colors and freshness of youth attracts the painting "Queen Blanca with a child" (1877).
But gradually the living life of his native land attracts him more and more. The next works of the painter were created already in the style of a realistic depiction of folk life. At home, Albert traveled with fishermen to the open sea more than once, and then in the studio in Heiko he specially set up a sawn fishing boat for precise execution of details. The success of the painting "The Funeral of a Child" (1879), as well as the real success of the painting "At the Sea" (1883), made Edelfelt a recognized master in his homeland.

On the sea. 1883
A. Edelfelt's reputation as a national artist was most weightily confirmed by his paintings from the life of ordinary people in Finland: "Boys by the Water" (1884), "Girl with a Rake" (1886), "Women from Ruoholahti" (1887).
Russian critic V.V. Stasov wrote: "The best of all their Finns, of course, is Edelfelt, and he has the most remarkable picture of Laundress (1889), full of healthy, fresh realism and life." This picture remained in Russia, and since 1930 it has been in the Hermitage.

The attention of the audience is always attracted by the truly "Parisian spirit" painting "In the Luxembourg Gardens" (1887). In the plein air works of these years, A. Edelfelt pays much attention to the problems of light and colors.

Having made a trip around Europe, Edelfelt stopped for a long time in St. Petersburg. He first came to St. Petersburg in 1881. Russian artists and society greeted A. Edelfelt with enthusiasm. In 1881, the young Finnish painter presented his works to the court of the St. Petersburg Academy. He was a great success: he was awarded the title of academician and organized a solo exhibition in Tsarskoye Selo. Edelfelt was introduced to the royal family. At the request of Tsar Alexander III, he made a copy of the painting "On the Sea", and made a number of commissioned works. In the same period, the artist creates several genre portraits, of which the most popular was the portrait of the artist's sister Berta with a dog in a dacha in Heiko.
Good friends. 1881
Under the title "Good Friends" (1881), copies of this painting are kept in the Ateneum and in Gothenburg. The painting "In the Nursery" (1885), close in character, was bought by Alexander III for the Gatchina Palace. The Athenium also exhibits a portrait of Sophie Manzey created in these years.

Thanks to the popularity and authority of A. Edelfelt, the art of Finland gained recognition in Russia. In St. Petersburg, Edelfelt met the young figures of the new Russian art, Sergei Diaghilev and Alexander Benois: "We literally hung on Edelfelt, in our eyes his head was surrounded by a halo of Parisian recognition," Benois wrote later. The proximity of Finnish and Russian artists was marked by several joint exhibitions. The largest of them was in 1898 in the museum at the school of Baron Stieglitz. The works of young artists at that time were presented there: Serov, Repin, Vrubel - from Russian; and M. Enkel, Gallen-Kallela, Yarnefeld - from the Finnish side. The exhibition aroused great interest in Finnish culture and Finland itself among the Russian public.
But the main form of creativity for A. Edelfelt in his mature years was portrait painting. Edelfelt worked extensively and successfully in the portrait genre. Pabout the order of the government of France, he wroteportrait by Louis Pasteur (1885). In the 1880s and 1890s, Edelfelt worked extensively on orders from the Russian royal court. But in addition to official portraits, he created beautiful creations: "Portrait of a Mother", "Storyteller Larin Paraske", portraits of the great Finnish actresses Aine Akte and Ida Aalberg.
Landscape occupies relatively little space in Edelfelt's work. However, in the Hermitage there are his works: "View of Porvo", watercolor "View of the lake in Kaukola", etching "Pine tree in the snow". The Hermitage also has a number of drawings and illustrations by the remarkable Finnish master.
A sketch of Edelfelt's work would be incomplete without mentioning his last work: In 1900-1904, the artist was busy creating a monumental panel in the assembly hall of the University of Helsinki on the theme: "Grand opening of the university in Turku in 1640." The composition was made in the form of a parade procession in costumes of the 17th century.

Albert Edelfelt died suddenly at a dacha near Porvo in August 1905. It was a blow to Finnish art. But his paintings are also interesting and understandable to us, as they were close to his contemporaries.

Hugo Simberg
Haavoittunut enkeli - Wounded angel
(1903)
The plot of the picture unfolds against a recognizable historical background: this is Eleintarha Park (lit. “zoo”) and Töölö Bay in Helsinki. At the beginning of the 20th century, the park was a popular recreation area for workers, and it also housed charitable institutions. The road along which the characters are moving has survived to this day: the procession moves along it towards the then existing school for blind girls and a shelter for the disabled.
The painting depicts two boys carrying on a stretcher a blindfolded effeminate angel with a bleeding wing. One of the boys stares intently and frowningly directly at the viewer, his gaze expresses either sympathy for the wounded angel, or contempt. The background landscape is deliberately harsh and sparse, but gives the impression of calm. The non-trivial plot opens up space for a wide range of interpretations. The rough clothes and shoes of the boys, their frowning, serious faces are contrasted with the fragile figure of an angel dressed in a light dress, which suggests the opposition of life and death, the blood on the wing of the angel and the blindfold is a sign of vulnerability and ephemeral existence, but in his hand the angel holds a bouquet of snowdrops is a symbol of rebirth and recovery. Life here seems to be close to death. One of the boys turned to the audience, breaking the hermetic space of the picture, thereby making it clear that the issues of life and death are directly related to them. Simberg himself refused to give any interpretation of The Wounded Angel, leaving the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
The painting had a huge impact on Finnish culture. References to it are found in many works of high and mass art. The video of the Finnish metal band Nightwish for the song "Amaranth" plays on the motif of "The Wounded Angel".

Akseli Gallen-Kallela

In Gallen-Kallela, in general, all the paintings are masterpieces, this is really a world-class artist.
This picture is written in an emphatically naturalistic manner, but, despite all its unadornedness, it is full of sympathy and love for the simplest and poorest people.
The painting was acquired by the Turku Art Museum in 1895 and is still there today.
I always translate the word akka with difficulty - both “woman” and “grandmother”.

Culture and art are the heritage and property of every state. The "Land of a Thousand Lakes" is not only a skiing and fishing paradise for travelers and tourists, but also a place for various art historians and simply connoisseurs of creativity. Art is very developed in Finland, in particular painting. Many art galleries, museums and exhibitions will delight even the most sophisticated connoisseurs of fine art.
Artists from the Suomi country, who received a European education in the nineteenth century, became the main and driven factor that gave impetus to the development of fine arts in Finland. Before starting to get acquainted with the representatives of Finnish painting, let's get acquainted with the work of the "father of Finnish art and painting" Robert Ekman.
Robert Wilhelm Ekman
Born in 1808, the artist in his paintings depicted the life of ordinary Finnish peasants, all the hardships of their lives, focused society's attention on the social policy of the Finnish state in relation to commoners. When Robert was 16 years old, he went to Stockholm to study at the Swedish Academy of Arts. As a young and brilliant talent, Ekman received a Swedish scholarship for his talent, and later his vocation as an artist contributed to the fact that he went to study in Italy and France, and then to Holland. In these countries, the master of the brush spent seven whole years from 1837 to 1844.
Returning back to the Suomi country, Robert Wilhelm settled in the city of Turku, where he began to paint the local cathedral with his wall frescoes and drawings. After that, he founded a drawing school in the city, which he headed until 1873. He very clearly outlined the abyss that was between the nobility and the peasants. The paintings of the painter shocked everyone with their unique and not invented realism. The "father of Finnish painting and art" died in 1873.
Akseli Waldemar Gallen Kallela (Gallen-Kallela Akseli)
Akseli Gallen Kallela was born in the small Finnish town of Bjorneborg (modern name Pori) in April 1863. A fighter for the independence of Finland, the artist in his work did his best to depict a call to the nation to fight for the independence of their country. The modernism inherent in the painter allowed Axel Gallen Kallela to create very realistic paintings. After the end of the Finnish Civil War (1918), the artist became involved in heraldry and flag design. In the middle of the twentieth century, the artist lived and worked for some time in the United States of America, where he successfully held exhibitions of his works. The painter died in 1931 in Stockholm, he died of pneumonia.
Oscar Kleineh
The most famous Finnish marine landscape painter was born in September 1846 in the capital of Finland. The German roots of Oscar "came to the rescue", which allowed him to study in Germany, namely in Düsseldorf. Later, Kleinech continued his studies in St. Petersburg and Karlsruhe. The greatest popularity of the marine painter was brought by paintings depicting sea still lifes and landscapes, one author's work is even exhibited in the St. Petersburg Hermitage. The artist died in his native city of Helsinki in 1919.
Finnish artist Berndt Lindholm (1841-1914).Berndt Adolf Lindholm Berndt Adolf Lindholm, (Loviisa 20 August 1841 – 15 May 1914 in Gothenburg, Sweden) was a Finnish painter, is also considered one of the first Finnish impressionists. Lindholmwas also the first Scandinavian artist to go to study in Paris. PHe received his first drawing lessons in Porvoo from the artist Johan Knutson, and then transferred to the Finnish Art Society School of Drawing in Turku. In 1856-1861. he is a student of Ekman.1863-1865 Lindholm continued his studies abroad at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.He left Germany and together with ( Hjalmar Munsterhelm) Magnus Hjalmar Munsterhjelm (1840-1905)(Thulos October 19, 1840 - April 2, 1905) returned to his homeland in Karlsruhe (1865-1866), where he began to take private lessons fromHans Fredrik Gude (1825-1903)and then went twice to Paris in 1873-1874, where his teacher was Leon Bonnat. In Franceclosely communicated with the Barbizon Charles-Francois Daubigny.He also appreciated the work of Theodore Rousseau, and admired the work of Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot.The first solo exhibition was held in Helsinki in the autumn of 1870, where Lindholm was highly acclaimed. In 1873, the Academy of Arts was given the title of academician for the painting "Forest in the province of Savolas" and others., in 1876 he was awarded a medal at the World's Fair in Philadelphia; in 1877 he was awarded the Finnish State Prize. Lindholmlived mostly abroad. In 1876 he moved to Gothenburg and worked as a museum curator (1878-1900). He also taught at the Gothenburg School of Drawing and Painting, then was elected president of the Academy of Fine Arts and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy..He was more versatile than his artist friend and rival Magnus Hjalmar Munsterhelm who remained faithful to the romantic landscape all his life.Initially, Lindholm also painted typical romantic landscapes, and then, under the influence of French plein air painting, he gradually becomes close to realism. By the end of his career, he switched only to coastal and seascapes. It is also known that Lindholm participated in the illustration of the book by Zacharias Topelius - (Zacharias Topelius, 1818-1898) - one of the most remarkable representatives of Finnish literature. Poet, novelist, storyteller, historian and publicist - he deserved love and recognition, both at home and far beyond its borders. Topelius wrote in Swedish, although he was also fluent in Finnish. Topelius' works have been translated into more than twenty languages. He possessed an unusually multifaceted talent and amazing capacity for work, the complete collection of his works includes thirty-four volumes. (Z. Topelius. Journey through Finland. Published by F. Tilgman, 1875. Translated from Swedish F. Heuren. Contains many engravings from original paintings by A. von Becker, A. Edelfelt, R. V. Ekman, V. Holmberg, K.E. Janson, O. Kleine, I. Knutson, B. Lindholm, G. Munstergelm and B. Reingold). Lindholm's 10 illustrations are dedicated to the Imatra waterfall. In Finland, the works of the artist during his stay in France were not fully appreciated, almost all of them are in private collections.
