caption_attribution_description: Sketch for Symposium/Symposion. At least equally as popular if not more than the finished work as there were small changes.
context_page_description: The Golden Age of Finnish Art coincided with the national awakening of Finland during the era of the Grand Duchy of Finland under the Russian Empire. It is considered to generally span from near the end of the 19th century and to the beginning of the 20th century, roughly 1880–1910. Themes during the period were often influenced by Kalevala and were visible in visual arts, literature, music and architecture of the time, although the term is most commonly used to refer to the wave of realist and national romantic painters of the time. Central figure of the time was Akseli Gallen-Kallela. Other notable figures were Pekka Halonen, Albert Edelfelt, Jean Sibelius, Eino Leino, Helene Schjerfbeck, Eero Järnefelt, Emil Wikström and Eliel Saarinen.
  Finnish art became known in Europe at the Paris 1900 Exposition, where the Finnish pavilion was one of the most popular ones.
