EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Ilmatar, 1860" transports us back to the enchanting world of Finnish mythology and national romanticism. Painted by Robert Wilhelm Ekman, a renowned Finnish artist from the 19th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the esteemed collection of Ateneum in Helsinki. "Ilmatar, 1860" depicts an allegorical scene inspired by the epic poem Kalevala and its Aino myth. In Finnish folklore, Ilmatar is known as the goddess of air and water.
