Round 1 - Set 68

Left: The Forging of the Sampo 1893 by Akseli Gallen-Kallela

Description: painting of a group of people stroking the fire of a forge

Propaganda: The use of light here is just amazing.

Propaganda 2: I love how the art captures what a huge effort it is, it takes a large group working real hard, it makes the magical feel real, like I am there in that moment.

The Forging of the Sampo 1893 by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. Oil on canvas. The art is 200 x 152 cm. Accessed through Wikipedia Commons (link here).

Right: The Forgining of Sampo 1910-1911 by Joseph Alanen

Description: painting of a person using a forge. it is stylized simelar to folk art or textiles with strong geometric shapes and patterns.

Propaganda: I love how unreal it looks, like if you compare it to the version of forging the sampo by Akseli Gallen-Kallela which is drawn in a realistic style and where it takes a large group of sweaty men here it is otherworldly clean and magical simple.
