Stories of Finnish Art – Akseli Gallen-Kallela: Lemminkäinen's Mother, 1897
Akseli Gallen-Kallela painted some powerful interpretations of the Finnish national epic, The Kalevala. Among the most moving of these was the Symbolist painting Lemminkäinen's Mother, in which youthful bravado and recklessness have driven the hero to destruction. The scene is set in the realm of the dead, by the river of Tuonela, from which there is no return. And yet the power of a mother’s love transcends the bounds of humanity, and the dead awaken to life. The film takes the viewer deep into another world, into limbo, into a land that does not exist.

Akseli Gallen Kallela: A collection of 207 paintings (HD)
Description: Finnish painter, graphic artist and designer. He was closely associated with notions of National Romanticism, especially relating to the region of Karelia, also a source of inspiration for the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
In 1881-84 he studied at the Finnish Art Society in Helsinki and the private academy of Adolf von Becker (1831-1909). In 1884-89 he was in Paris and studied at the Académie Julian under Bouguereau and at Cormon's studio. He began realistic plen-air painting under the influence of Bastien-Lepage. He exhibited at the Salon in 1888 and 1889, he was the first Finnish painter to become a member of the Société Nationale de Beaux-Arts.
On returning to Finland, he became fascinated with the 'Kalevala' epic, a compilation of ancient poetry celebrating the mythic origins of Finland, on which he decided to base his art. Following a national competition in 1891 Gallen-Kallela illustrated this national epic, the vivid images of which soon became widely known throughout Finland. He also made a significant contribution to the Finnish Pavilion at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900 in which he painted frescoes on Kalevala themes in the main dome, as well as designing textiles and furniture.
By the mid-1890s Gallen-Kallela began to incorporate Symbolist motifs in his work. His landscape paintings of about 1900 show the influence of both Gauguin and Monet.
At the end of 1894 he went to Berlin, in 1895 he became acquainted with the Arts and Crafts movement in London. In 1897-99 he studied fresco technique in Italy. In 1903 he was at the Vienna Secession and in 1910 showed with the Brücke in Munich. Later he traveled in East Africa and in the USA. He died in 1931 while working on illustrations for a large edition of the Kalevala.
Gallen_Kallela's distinctive contribution to Finnish culture is preserved in the Gallen-Kallela Museum, which was originally built by him as a studio and family home between 1911 and 1913 and now contains a large body of his work, including paintings, graphics, textiles, jewellery, stained glass, and architectural designs.

Akseli Gallen Kallela’s Paintings of the Finnish National Identity
Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865 -1931) was a Finnish painter who grew to love the countryside of his land from a young age. He started lessons in Helsinki at the age of 13 and then continued his artistic training at Paris, which is what most young art students did at the time.
Although his artistic focus was often on Finland, featuring pristine landscapes and scenes from Finnish folk tales such as the Kalevala, he exhibited his work all across Europe and gained international notoriety.

Akseli Gallen Kallela (1865-1931) A collection of paintings 4K Ultra HD
Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) was a Finnish painter who is best known for his illustrations of the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic.
His work is considered very important for the Finnish national identity. He changed his name from Gallen to Gallen-Kallela in 1907
Gallen-Kallela was born Axel Waldemar Gallén in Pori, Finland in a Swedish-speaking family. His father Peter Gallén worked as police chief and lawyer.
At the age of 11 he was sent to Helsinki to study at a grammar school, because his father opposed his ambition to become a painter. After his father's death in 1879, Gallen-Kallela attended drawing classes at the Finnish Art Society (1881-4) and studied privately under Adolf von Becker.
In 1884 he moved to Paris, to study at the Académie Julian.. In Paris he became friends with the Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt, the Norwegian painter Carl Dörnberger, and the Swedish writer August Strindberg.
He married Mary Slöör in 1890. The couple had three children, Impi Marjatta, Kirsti and Jorma. On their honeymoon to East Karelia, Gallen-Kallela started collecting material for his depictions of the Kalevala.
This period is characterized by romantic paintings of the Kalevala, like the Aino Myth, and by several landscape paintings..
In December 1894, Gallen-Kallela moved to Berlin to oversee the joint exhibition of his works with the works of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. Here he became acquainted with the Symbolists.
In March 1895, he received a telegram that his daughter Impi Marjatta had died from diphtheria. This would prove to be a turning point in his work.
While his works had previously been romantic, after his daughter's death Gallen-Kallela painted more aggressive works like the Defense of the Sampo, Joukahainen's Revenge, Kullervo Cursing and Lemminkäinen's Mother..
On his return from Germany, Gallen studied printmaking and visited London to deepen his knowledge, and in 1898 studied fresco-painting in Italy.
For the Paris World Fair in 1900, Gallen-Kallela painted frescoes for the Finnish Pavilion. In these frescoes, his political ideas became most apparent. One of the vipers in the fresco Ilmarinen Plowing the Field of Vipers is wearing the Romanov crown, and the process of removing the vipers from the field was a clear reference to his wish for an independent Finland.
The Paris Exposition secured Gallen-Kallela's stature as the leading Finnish artist.. In 1901 he was commissioned to paint the fresco, Kullervo Goes to War, for the concert hall of the Helsinki Student Union. Between 1901 and 1903 he painted the frescoes for the Jusélius Mausoleum in Pori, memorializing the 11-year-old daughter of the industrialist F.A. Jusélius. (The frescoes were soon damaged by dampness, and were completely destroyed by fire in December 1931.
Jusélius assigned the artist's son Jorma to repaint them from the original sketches.. The reconstruction was completed just before Jorma's death in 1939.)
In 1909, Gallen-Kallela moved to Nairobi in Kenya with his family, he was the first Finnish artist to travel south of the Sahara, and there he painted over 150 expressionist oil paintings and bought many east African artefacts.
He returned to Finland after a couple of years, because he realized Finland was his main inspiration. Between 1911 and 1913 he designed and built a studio and house at Tarvaspää, about 10 km northwest of the centre of Helsinki..
In 1918, Gallen-Kallela and his son Jorma took part in the fighting at the front of the Finnish Civil War. When the regent, General Mannerheim, later heard about this, he invited Gallen-Kallela to design the flags, official decorations and uniforms for the newly independent Finland.
In 1919 he was appointed aide-de-camp to Mannerheim.
From December 1923 to May 1926, Gallen-Kallela lived in the United States, where an exhibition of his work toured several cities,. and where he visited the Taos art-colony in New Mexico to study indigenous American art.
In 1925 he began the illustrations for his Great Kalevala. This was still unfinished when he died of pneumonia in Stockholm on 7 March 1931, while returning from a lecture in Copenhagen, Denmark..
His studio and house at Tarvaspää was opened as the Gallen-Kallela Museum in 1961; it houses some of his works and research facilities on Gallen-Kallela himself
