The exquisite Finnish landscape is carefully painted in the nationalist tradition championed by the Onningebykolonin, the famous Swedish-Finnish artist's colony that existed on the Aland Islands between 1866 and 1914. The artists associated with Onningebykolonin were primarily plein air artists influenced by the French Impressionists.island of Aland in Finland.
