Biography: Edelfelt
(b Kiiala Estate, nr Porvoo [Swed. Borgå], 21 July 1854; d Haikko, nr Porvoo, 18 Aug 1905). Finnish painter, illustrator and etcher. He was Finland’s leading artist in the late 19th century, introducing French influences into Finnish art but also helping to gain a broader international interest in his country’s culture. He was not a great innovator, however, and although his reputation in Finland remained firm, international recognition dwindled after his death until the renewal of interest in realism that took place in the late 20th century.
