About the piece

Created in 1900 by Finnish artist Juho Rissanen, this compelling work captures the industrial might of the icebreaker 'Sampo' as it navigates the Arctic winter. The painting contrasts the heavy, dark silhouette of the ship against the stark, cold brilliance of the cracked ice, reflecting the rugged resilience of maritime life in the North.
