Akseli Gallen-Kallela var en finsk bildkonstnär född i Björneborg. Han räknas till en av Finlands främsta konstnärer och studerade vid Académie Julian i Paris. Gallen-Kallela är främst känd för sina illustrationer till eposet ”Kalevala” som påbörjades 1925. Verket representerar den begynnande finska nationalromantiken. År 1900 utförde han kupolmålningar med Kalevalamotiv till den finska paviljongen på världsutställningen i Paris. Hans bildspråk är ofta naturalistiskt, symboliskt och expressionistiskt.
