Abstract WILHELM RAMSAY Lifelong wandering in Fennoscandia Wilhelm Ramsay, whose family originated in Scotland, was born in 1865 near Dalsbruk on the southwest coast of Finland, where his father was proprietor of the ironworks. Ramsay matriculated in 1882 and took his master’s degree in 1886. Between 1885 and 1887 Ramsay studied in Stockholm under W.C. Brøgger, where he finished his work for PhD in 1887. This same year he was invited by J.A. Palmén to participate as geologist in the great Kola expedition. From the expedition he brought home a rich collection of rocks, mostly from the great nepheline syenite massif, which he discovered in the western interior of the peninsula. He returned to the Kola peninsula several times and also trav- elled widely in the eastern parts of Carelia, until the borders were closed in 1914. In 1898 Ramsay introduced the term Fennoscandia for the geological-geographical re- gion of northern Europe consisting of Finland, Sweden, Norway, the Kola peninsula and parts of Russian Carelia. As Professor of Mineralogy and Geology of the University of Helsinki from 1899 he is remembered as an inspiring teacher, and in dynamic geology, in particular, he made a strong impression on his students. Ramsay reorganised the whole of the Department of Mineralogy and Geology, the research and teaching, and its collec- tions of stones and minerals. Ramsay also took part in the international discussion of orogeny and its influence on global climatic changes. He gave much thought to the eustatic changes in the level of the ocean, which depend on the quantity of continental ice during each period of glaciation. He dealt with this matter in the 1920´s, a comprehensive paper on this subject appeared two years after his death in 1928.

Över 150 år har förflutit sedan han föddes, och över 90 år sedan han avled. Han efterlämnade ca. 140 originalpublika- tioner, åtskilliga populärvetenskapliga uppsatser, talrika brev till släktingar, vänner och kolleger, anteckningsböcker samt en mycket stor samling negativ till fotografier han tagit under sina resor 1887 – 1914. Han hade en vid krets av släktingar, kolleger och vänner, i många fall höll han kontakt med dem hela livet. Man inser lätt sitt vetandes begränsning då man beskriver en människa man aldrig kände, man använder det material som gångna tider efterlämnat. Så gott det går har jag försökt placera Wilhelm Ramsay i sin samtid. Utan betänkande skulle jag beskriva Wil- helm Ramsay som vetgirig, noggrann, eftertänksam. Han kunde säkert också vara bitande ironisk, men aldrig elak. I flera avseenden var han före sin tid, hans elever har påpekat att han gärna också höll sina föreläsningar på finska, alls inte vanligt ännu på 1920-talet, långt före språkförordningen trätt i kraft. Betecknande är att han skrev inbjudan till pro- movendi 1927 på finska, inte på svenska. Avsikten med denna uppsats är att kort ge en uppfattning om omfattningen av hans vetenskapliga verksamhet och några av dess resultat, men framför allt att kort beskriva kretsen kring honom, utan vilken han säkert inte hade blivit den han var. Av sina fem barn beskrevs han som mycket snäll. Kollegernas omdömen finns samlade i ett flertal minnestal och artiklar. Han har själv i flera läsvärda uppsatser, och framför allt i den Förord 11 kända läroboken Geologins grunder, beskrivit metoder och resultat som uppnåddes inom geologi och mineralogi under hans livstid. Jag står i stor tacksamhetsskuld till flera personer för uppmuntran och hjälp med upppsatsen. Framför andra vill jag tacka Joakim Donner, som under flera års tid ivrigt uppmanat mig att skriva, och dessutom erbjudit hjälp och råd, och till slut också rättat mitt manuskript. Matti Saarnistos uppmuntran och kommentarer har glatt mig mycket, och med hans hjälp kunde jag också använda Geologiska Forskningscentralens bibliotek. Hari Adhikari har ritat kartorna i texten. Göran Sundholm har kommenterat uppsatsen så länge jag skrivit, dessutom rättat mina otaliga skrivfel och ologiskheter i texten. Sakna- dens tankar går till Leif Rantala som följde David Sjöstrands spår i norr. Redaktören för denna serie, Stig-Olof Londen, har med tålamod redigerat manuskriptet för tryckning.

Ateneum Publications Vol. 147. Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2021, 103–27. Transl. Don McCracken Ilya Repin was faced with a new, unexpected situation when the October Revolution of 1917 severed the close ties between St Petersburg and Kuokkala in Finland. He had become accustomed to many changes in the course of his long life, but up until then these had been mainly due to his own decisions, especially his bold departure from Chuguev to St Petersburg to study art in 1863, then moving on to Moscow in 1877 and exhibiting with the non-academic Peredvizhniki (Wanderers) group. Repin returned to St Petersburg in 1882, and in 1892 he became first a teacher at the Imperial Academy of Arts, and later its Director. He also acquired a place in the countryside near Vitebsk in Zdrawneva, Belarus, in 1892, and subsequently entered into a relationship with Natalia Nordmann, with whom he purchased a house in Kuokkala on the Karelian Isthmus in 1899. In 1903, he moved permanently to Kuokkala and Ilya Repin, Double Portrait of Natalia Nordmann and Ilya Repin, 1903, oil on canvas, 78.5cm x 130cm Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum Photo: Finnish National Gallery / Jenny Nurminen 2 The Artist, his Admirers, his Dealers and Inheritors – Ilya Repin and his Career in the Republic of Finland // Timo Huusko --- FNG Research Issue No.

  • Finnish Women Artists in the Modern World
    Issue No. 5/2019 Finnish Women Artists in the Modern World Anu Utriainen, MA, Senior Researcher, Ateneum Art Museum / Finnish National Gallery Also in Anu Allas and Tiina Abel (eds.), Creating the Self: Emancipating Woman in Estonian and Finnish Art. Tallinn: Art Museum of Estonia, 2019 (to be published in December 2019) The works of Finnish women artists, and the choices they made both in their lives and careers show how women worked independently in this demanding profession in the early decades of the 20th century. They were forced to strike a balance between expectations and restrictions arising from their gender and their professional goals, as well as from their personal desires. Women who established professional careers in art refused to make concessions regarding the content of their work; they had a firm idea of themselves as artists and were well aware of their abilities and talents. For example, Ellen Thesleff considered herself a creative genius, regardless of gender, while Helene Schjerfbeck wanted to be treated and addressed first and foremost as an artist, without reference to her gender.1 What is noteworthy is the uncompromising attitude of these women towards their work. Many of them were able to renew themselves as artists even at advanced ages and to learn new techniques. Although gender was not an obstacle to studies in the fine arts in Finland, many women artists at the turn of the 20th century were nevertheless forced to make choices in their private lives in order to continue in the profession. For example, those who remained unmarried included Fanny Churberg, Ester Helenius, Helmi Kuusi, Sigrid Schauman, Helene Schjerfbeck, Ellen Thesleff and Maria Wiik.
