The zigzag pattern on the water’s surface is a natural occurrence caused by the interaction of the wind with the lake’s currents, but it is also intended to evoke the wake created by Väinämöinen, the poet-hero of the Finnish saga Kalevala, as he rows across the lake. This epic poem was seen as a founding myth by Finnish nationalists who were seeking autonomy for their country in the late nineteenth century, and reference to it gave Lake Keitele an added political dimension.\n\nDespite the relatively small size of the canvas, Gallen-Kallela creates a feeling of expansive space that brings together meditative stillness and the dynamism of the natural world.\n\nGallen-Kallela painted three other views of Lake Keitele around 1904–6, all of which show the distinctive zigzag pattern on the water’s surface.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/akseli-gallen-kallela-lake-keitele\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Lake Keitele\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akseli Gallen-Kallela","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509386940659,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (20 7\/8\" x 26\")","offer_id":50509386973427,"sku":null,"price":977.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16\" x 19 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509387006195,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19 5\/8\" x 24 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509387038963,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (24\" x 29 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509387071731,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (31\" x 38 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509387104499,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (37 1\/4\" x 46 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509387137267,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (43 7\/8\" x 54 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509387170035,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (52 5\/8\" x 65 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509387202803,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/LakeKeitele.jpg?v=1788666254","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/lake-keitele-ngal110","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
