About the piece

Painted in 1911 by Tyko Sallinen, this work is a masterpiece of Finnish Expressionism. Utilizing a bold, Fauvist-inspired palette, Sallinen captures the vitality of the northern landscape through energetic brushwork and high-contrast tones of deep ultramarine and sun-dappled green. The raw texture of the paint and the luminous, airy sky create a dynamic presence that bridges the gap between traditional landscape and modern abstraction.
