Albert Edelfelt - Lights of Finland

After retrospectives dedicated to the Swedes Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn, and The Golden Age of Danish Painting, the Petit Palais pursues its exploration of Nordic artists. This new exhibition, organised with the Ateneum Art Museum of Helsinki, is dedicated to Albert Edelfelt, one of the stars of Finnish painting. Some 100 works retrace his career and illustrate how the artist greatly contributed to the recognition of a Finnish art in the late 19th century.
