Per Åke Laurén

Per Åke Laurén painted quiet, luminous scenes of rural Finland in the mid-20th century, often leaving the brushwork loose and the edges soft. His five works here include *Ruispelto* (a golden rye field bending under wind) and *Charentonin vanha mylly* (an old mill by a Finnish river at dusk). Watch how he lights the undersides of leaves in *Sateen jälkeen* (After the Rain) or how *Keskikesä* (Midsummer) glows under a pale northern sky. Tap any of these five to step into a Finland where time moves slowly and light stays low.
