Akseli Gallen-Kallela - Finnish 1865-1931

Lake Keitele

This looks like a freshwater lake, but the depiction of the water surface is applicable to marine painting. The mirror-like plane of the lake's surface is broken by bands where the wind has brushed it. Sky and land are limited to a narrow strip at the top of the picture, emphasising the water as subject. Gallen-Kallela may have been influenced by Klimt's near abstract views of the Attersee: http://marineoilpaintings.blogspot.com/2009/06/gustav-klimt-austrian-1862-1918.html
Or vice versa.
