Rain Clouds and Sun Rays - Järvenpää Art Museum


Akseli Gallen-Kallela - Towers of Clouds 1904


Rain Clouds and Sun Rays - Artists' Skies was an exhibition curated by Finnish meteorologist Seija Paasonen. I visited this exhibition in September at Järvenpää Art Museum.   The works were mainly from the Golden Era of Finnish painting in the late 1800s and early 1900s including among others Albert Edelfelt, Fanny Churberg, Pekka Halonen, Eero Järnefelt and Venny Soldan-Brofeldt. Unfortunately the paintings lose their enchantment due to the yellowing lights of the space.

This exhibition was wonderful. The paintings were grouped on the basis of the weather phenomenon or season: summer, winter, sunset, storm etc. The space had low ceilings and the lighting highlighted beautifully the golden frames. I loved the poetry lines on the wall.

"The skies in the paintings are frozen in time, but they can be brought to life to reveal past and future weather. Many paintings – whether they show the sky or not – give some kind of signal or sensation about the weather. A grey curtain of clouds on the horizon creates the sense of impending rain. The cold air of a clear winter morning pinches your cheeks. Bending treetops evoke the sound of the hum of the wind. The scent of mouldering plants hangs in the air in a foggy autumn landscape. When waves hit the rocks on the seashore, you can taste the salt in the seawater." - Museum’s site

"Weather in all its many and greatly varying forms, surrounds us everywhere, all over the world. The world of paintings also depicts weather, fascinating skies and clouds. Some of the painted skies follow the laws of meteorology, while others are imaginary or intended for something completely different than meteorological study. Despite this, they can be studied with original ideas, and the clouds can even be named according to the International Cloud Atlas.” - Museum’s site

  4. Just great...I like such paintings and find it always a pity that unknown, not so well-known painters and/or their works in this time lose in value. A good idea to place them thematically according to the seasons.

    Thank you for taking us with you and sending greetings

    1. The exhibition was really fantastic. But because the use of flash was forbidden, the pictures turned a bit dim.
