The Artist's Mother http://collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=18777&viewType=detailView
This is the artist’s mother in a remarkable, enigmatic portrait. Intimate and monumental at the same time. On the one hand a spitting image, on the other a sculpture in a dreamlike landscape seemingly situated beyond time and space. The portrait is dated 1896, the year before Akseli Gallen-Kallela cast her as the main figure in one of his most famous paintings, Lemminkäinen’s Mother – a motif inspired by Finland’s national epic, Kalevala.

The Giant Pike http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=A+III+2151
Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen, and Lemminkäinen boarded a boat and row to Pohjola to restore their share of the Sampo. Suddenly, the boat stopped moving. It was stuck on a giant pike which Väinämöinen then sliced in two with his sword. The tail-end of the pike sank in the sea, but Väinämöinen caught its large head in the boat. He took the head to the shore and used its jawbones and teeth to make a harp. He used the tail of Lempo’s stallion as the strings. The finished harp had an immensely beautiful sound, but only when played by Väinämöinen.
