Berndt Abraham Godenhjelm

This artist painted portraits and religious scenes in 19th-century Finland. Try his *Self-Portrait* to see his direct gaze, or peek at his sketches for Vihdin church’s *Resurrection of Christ*. His work sits between folk art and early realism, where faces and faith feel close to home. Tap *Aleksanteri II’s Portrait* next to compare a royal image to his softer spiritual studies.
