EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Linda Carrying a Rock, 1917" takes us back to the early 20th century in Estonia. The photograph is part of the esteemed collection at Eesti Kunstimuuseum in Tallinn, providing a glimpse into Estonian art history. The image showcases an allegorical scene inspired by Finnish folklore and mythology. Linda, a central figure in Finnish mythology, is depicted carrying a rock with determination and strength. This portrayal symbolizes her resilience and endurance amidst challenging circumstances. The artist behind this masterpiece is Oskar Kallis (1892-1918), whose talent shines through his use of oil on canvas technique. Through his brushstrokes, Kallis brings to life the rich symbolism embedded within Finnish folklore. It's worth noting that this artwork draws inspiration from Jean Sibelius' renowned composition "Kalevala" which was heavily influenced by the epic poem "Kalevipoeg". Both works are deeply rooted in Finnish mythology and have become cultural touchstones for Finland. This print serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling and its ability to transport viewers into different realms. It invites us to explore the intersection between art, literature, and mythological narratives while appreciating Estonia's artistic heritage preserved at Eesti Kunstimuuseum.
