EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Breaking ice, 1916" takes us back to a time of tranquility and natural beauty. The painting, part of a private collection, showcases the breathtaking Finnish landscape during winter. Painted by Pekka Halonen in the early 20th century, this piece perfectly captures the essence of Finland's national romanticism movement. The scene depicts an idyllic frozen lake surrounded by snow-covered trees and mountains. A lone figure stands on the edge of the icy shore, breaking through the thick layer of ice with a wooden pole. This act symbolizes both physical labor and resilience against nature's harsh conditions. Halonen's use of oil on canvas brings out vibrant colors that contrast beautifully with the white snowscape. The artist draws inspiration from Finnish folklore and mythology, particularly Jean Sibelius' epic musical composition "Kalevala". Through his brushstrokes, Halonen manages to evoke a sense of serenity while showcasing Finland's deep connection with its cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported to a world where time seems to stand still. It serves as a reminder of our profound relationship with nature and how it shapes our identity as individuals and communities alike.
