About the piece
Painted in 1917, 'The Race' by Tyko Sallinen captures the visceral power of movement through thick, energetic brushstrokes and a somber, atmospheric palette. As a leading figure in Finnish Expressionism, Sallinen brings a modern, rugged intensity to the traditional equestrian subject. The visible texture of the impasto and natural aging of the canvas add a sense of historical presence and tactile depth to the piece.
