A print of “Lake Keitele” by Akseli Gallen-Kallela on your wall
Silver streaks on steel-blue water, navy islands and an almost empty, bright expanse of sky - Gallen-Kallela's Lake Keitele is a landscape that works like a few minutes of meditation. Wall art in this tonality finds its place in any japandi or Scandinavian-style interior: in a living room with pale oak and a linen sofa, in a bedroom in greys and blues, in a study or in an office reception where calm counts. A print of Lake Keitele looks best in a horizontal crop, and a cut-out band of water works as a long panorama above a chest of drawers. On Dibond the matt, aluminium surface renders the graphic, almost Art Nouveau drawing of the waves, while 5 mm acrylic glass adds a mirror-like depth to the water. In the artMonte configurator you enter your own dimensions and crop, and we print the picture exactly for your wall.

Lake Keitele
About the artwork
The calm surface of a lake in central Finland, crossed by silvery zigzags of ripples that wind and currents lay on the water; in the distance dark, wooded islands beneath a bright sky. Gallen-Kallela painted this view in 1904 and 1905, and four versions were made. According to Finnish legend the silver streaks on the lakes are the wake of the boat of Väinämöinen, the hero of the Kalevala, which links the landscape to national mythology. The version in the National Gallery in London, bought in 1999, is among the most popular paintings in that museum.
