Picturing Finland

27 September 2024 - 2 February 2025

The Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) was a national hero and international star in his day. In 2024-25 the Belvedere — in collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, the Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki — is presenting the first exhibition to be devoted to this artist in Austria. In the period around 1900, Finland was a grand duchy striving for independence from Russian rule. Gallen-Kallela’s depictions of Finland’s people, myths, and nature played a key role in forming a national identity. At the same time, his modern visual language, developed in constant dialogue between Finnish sources of inspiration and influences from artistic centers such as Paris, Berlin, London, and Vienna, brought him international acclaim. The exhibition invites visitors to explore these fascinating interactions in Gallen-Kallela’s artistic engagement with his country and its people, the Finnish national epic Kalevala, the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), and the Nordic landscape. By way of example, and particularly relevant in Vienna, Gallen-Kallela’s contribution to the Vienna Secession exhibitions of 1901 and 1904 form the starting point of the narrative while also highlighting the artist’s significance in modern art.
