The Golden Age tells the story of 40 Finnish painters and sculptors, their travels to classical Rome and studies in Berlin and Paris and their return home to the land of dense forests and unending lakes, which in their hearts they had never left. In their return, they brought with them new ideas about art and adapted them into something uniquely Nordic. Among many artists included in this beautifully illustrated book are Ferdinand von Wright (1822-1906), Werner Holmberg (1830-1860), Fanny Churberg (1845-1892), Johannes Takanen (1849-1885), Gunnar Berndtson (1854-1895), Albert Edelfeldt (1854-1905), Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931), Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946), Victor Westerholm (1860-1919), Eero Järnefelt (1863-1937), Magnus Enckell (1870-1925), Hugo Simberg (1873-1917), Juho Rissanen (1873-1950), Pekka Halonen (1865-1933), Beda Stjernschantz (1867-1910) and many others.
