"Koivujen alla" (Finnish) or "Under björkarna" (Swedish), which translates to "Under the Birches" in English, is a renowned painting by the Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905). Created in 1882, this work is a quintessential example of Edelfelt's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and the natural beauty of the Finnish landscape. The painting is a testament to the National Romantic movement, which emphasized the importance of nature and national identity in the Nordic countries during the late 19th century.

The artwork depicts a serene scene of women and children leisurely spending time under the shade of birch trees, a tree species that holds significant cultural symbolism in Finland and is often associated with the Finnish identity. Edelfelt's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his attention to detail, creates a vivid and idyllic portrayal of Finnish summer life. The figures are rendered with a sense of grace and tranquility, which is characteristic of Edelfelt's genre paintings.

"Under the Birches" is celebrated for its contribution to Finnish art and for its role in shaping the visual narrative of Finland's national landscape. The painting is often highlighted for its influence on the perception of Finnish nature and culture during a period when Finland was seeking to establish a distinct national identity, separate from the influences of neighboring Russia and Sweden.

Albert Edelfelt, a pioneer of Finnish art, studied in the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, and later in Paris, which was the center of the art world during his time. His works often reflect the influence of French plein-air painting, yet they remain deeply rooted in Finnish subject matter. "Under the Birches" is a prime example of how Edelfelt harmoniously blended international artistic trends with local themes, contributing to the development of a unique Finnish art form.

Today, "Under the Birches" is held in high regard and can be found in the collection of the Ateneum Art Museum, part of the Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki. The painting continues to be a beloved piece, representing the beauty of the Finnish countryside and the artistic legacy of Albert Edelfelt.
