About the piece
Painted in 1897 by Finnish Symbolist Hugo Simberg, 'The Wind Blows' is a masterful example of the artist's ability to personify natural elements. Using gouache and watercolor, Simberg depicts the wind as a line of translucent spirits straining against the atmosphere, set against a striking backdrop of golden-yellow hills and a somber, dark foreground that highlights the work's dreamlike quality.
