Nationalism: For Finland, chafing under the rule of Russia, the epic poem Kalevala became a nationalist icon, drawn upon again and again by composer Jean Sibelius, as well as the Finnish painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela. In our picture, Kullervo, one of the saga’s heroes, rides off to war; Kullervo by Sibelius is a grandiose symphonic poem.
