Lake Keitele Poster

This poster features Akseli Gallen-Kallela's Lake Keitele.

A leading figure in modern Finnish painting, Gallen-Kallela first worked at Lake Keitele, north of Helsinki, in summer 1904. This landscape is his third and most elaborate depiction of the lake, and he exhibited it in Helsinki that same year. The painting is signed with the Swedish form of the artist's name; in later years he used the Finnish form, as above, by which he is best known today.

The poster has a strip at the bottom displaying the artist's name and the National Gallery logo.
