Description
Two lovers lie close together beside reflective water, their faces almost touching. Flowing strokes of blue, green and pale brown connect their clothes and bodies. A bloodied sword crosses the embrace and unsettles its tenderness.
This hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction recreates The Lovers by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. Gallen-Kallela worked on this composition between 1906 and 1917. The contrast between the closeness of the figures and the blade gives the image its disturbing intimacy; the surrounding water remains quiet.
Made to order in oil on canvas. Choose from the available reproduction sizes and framing options. The complete composition is retained, with attention to the relationships between the figures, colour and light.
