About the piece

Painted in 1917 by the influential Finnish artist Tyko Sallinen, this work captures the rugged landscape of Vådö with intense, expressive brushwork. The composition contrasts the warmth of the village rooftops against a brooding, heavy sky and the cool blues of the water, embodying the raw energy of early 20th-century Nordic modernism.
