"Aino Myth (Aino and Väinämöinen)" is a celebrated triptych painting by the Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, created in 1891. This work is a significant representation of Finnish national romanticism and draws its subject matter from the "Kalevala," Finland's national epic compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the 19th century. The "Kalevala" is a cornerstone of Finnish culture and identity, and Gallen-Kallela's painting captures one of its most poignant stories, the tale of Aino and Väinämöinen.

The triptych format of "Aino Myth" allows Gallen-Kallela to narrate the story across three panels, each depicting a different scene from the myth. The first panel shows the young maiden Aino, who is promised to the old and wise Väinämöinen against her will. The second panel portrays Aino's despair and her ultimate decision to reject Väinämöinen by drowning herself in a lake, transforming into a spirit of the water. The final panel depicts Väinämöinen's sorrow and longing as he encounters Aino in her new form.

Gallen-Kallela's use of vivid colors, meticulous detail, and expressive composition brings the myth to life, reflecting the emotional depth and cultural significance of the story. The artist's work is deeply intertwined with the Finnish landscape, and his portrayal of nature in "Aino Myth" is both realistic and symbolic, enhancing the narrative's mystical and tragic elements.

"Aino Myth" is not only a masterpiece of Finnish art but also a testament to Gallen-Kallela's role in the national romantic movement, which sought to revive and celebrate Finnish folklore and identity during a time of national awakening. The painting is housed in the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki, where it continues to be a source of inspiration and pride for the Finnish people.
