The enshrinement of death, its aesthetic, erotic and metaphysical sublimation and the recognition of the psychological and political brutality of death are all aspects of the romantic vision. This is a study of a fascinating idea in European art, of Goya, Jacques Francois Joseph, Claude Louis Desrais, Gericault, Delacroix, and the ever mysterious Caspar David Friedrich.

In order to pay homage to the breadth of French influence on Nordic art, this exhibition presents the visual experiences of Finnish artists visiting Brittany. Towards the end of the 19th century, Brittany became a haven for artists as they searched for locales that were exotic, primeval and authentic at a time when industrialization and urbanization became widespread. Many Finnish artists ventured to Brittany where they were exposed to the major trends in French art. In addition to paintings and sculptures that reveal the influences of French art, a significant portion of the exhibit consists of ethnographic objects and material from Brittany itself.
