PEKKA HALONEN<\/h1>

THE CALL OF FINLAND<\/h5>

Over the autumn and winter of 2026, Ordrupgaard presents the major retrospective exhibition Pekka Halonen. The Call of Finland<\/em>. In doing so, Ordrupgaard looks north and welcomes the masterly works of Finnish Pekka Halonen (1865\u20121935). Halonen was born in Lapinlathi in central Finland and, since childhood, influenced by the wild Finnish nature that later became a primary source of inspiration for his art.<\/p>

Halonen turned his back on urban modernity, instead capturing in his paintings the unspoilt nature and simple country life suffused with sparklingly clear Scandinavian light. In his many landscapes, he depicts nature as possessing transformative powers \u2013 as well as great beauty and monumentality. The works reflect the changing seasons, however, his very many atmospheric wintry pictures earned him the epithet the \u2018Snow Painter\u2019.<\/p>

With this exhibition, Ordrupgaard highlights one of Finland\u2019s most acclaimed artists. Pekka Halonen was a leading figure in the artists\u2019 colony in Tuusula and, through his pictures, expressed a unique Finnish identity. Moreover, he was strongly linked to contemporary international art. Halonen was educated in Helsinki and while completing his studies in Paris in the 1890s, he spent a short time with the French painter Paul Gauguin. The exhibition features some of the artist\u2019s most famous works, representing a new Nordic symbolism emerging around the turn of the century.\u00a0<\/p>

The exhibition has been initiated by Petit Palais, Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris I Paris Mus\u00e9es and Ateneum Art Museum, Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki, and organized in collaboration with Ordrupgaard and Rijksmuseum Twenthe.<\/p>
