Lake Keitele Inspired Artists
Lake Keitele, Finland’s 9th largest lake, surrounds Risusaari with its crystal-clear waters, making it an excellent spot for paddling. Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a key figure in modern Finnish painting, painted Lake Keitele in the summer of 1904. Today, the painting is housed in the National Gallery, London.
