"Professor Johan Wilhelm Runeberg" is a painting by the renowned Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt, completed in 1893. This portrait depicts Johan Wilhelm Runeberg, a significant figure in Finnish literature, best known for his epic poem "The Tales of Ensign Stål," which played a crucial role in shaping Finnish national identity. Runeberg is celebrated as Finland's national poet, and his works are deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of the country.

Albert Edelfelt, a prominent painter in the late 19th century, was instrumental in bringing Finnish art to international attention. He was known for his skillful portraits and historical scenes, often capturing the essence of his subjects with remarkable detail and sensitivity. Edelfelt's ability to convey personality and emotion is evident in this painting, where Runeberg is portrayed with a thoughtful and dignified expression.

The painting is characterized by its realistic style, a hallmark of Edelfelt's work, and demonstrates his mastery of light and shadow. The use of a subdued color palette adds to the solemn and respectful tone of the portrait, reflecting Runeberg's esteemed status in Finnish society. Edelfelt's attention to detail is apparent in the intricate rendering of Runeberg's features and attire, which adds to the lifelike quality of the painting.

This artwork is part of the collection at the Finnish National Gallery, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. It serves not only as a tribute to Runeberg's literary contributions but also as a testament to Edelfelt's skill as a portraitist. Through this painting, viewers gain insight into the cultural and historical context of Finland during the late 19th century, as well as the enduring legacy of both Runeberg and Edelfelt in Finnish art and literature.
