Lake Keitele 1905

"Lake Keitele" (1905) by Akseli Gallen-Kallela showcases the Finnish artist's mastery of landscape painting. The piece depicts a serene lake with a small island in the distance, its surface reflecting the sky above in a series of subtle, shimmering lines. The use of muted colors and the emphasis on light and reflection create a peaceful and ethereal atmosphere, characteristic of Gallen-Kallela's work. This painting, now part of the National Gallery's collection in London, captures the beauty of Finnish nature with understated elegance.
