Elias Muukka: Natt i Önningeby (Night in Önningeby, 1888)

Elias Muukka (1853–1938) was a Finnish painter who adopted the style of the Düsseldorf School. Born in Lemi, he attended the Finnish Artist School (1874–77) before studying at the Düsseldorf Academy (1877–79) and the Académie Colarossi in Paris (1880–81). Following his début in 1876, he exhibited regularly at the Finnish Artists Exhibitions from 1892 to 1938. His works were also presented in Paris (1889) and Stockholm (1929).^[1] Typical of the Düsseldorf School, his work often includes landscapes of water scenes featuring figures. He taught in a number of art schools.^[2]

Muukka was one of the artists who joined Victor Westerholm in the artists colony at Önningeby on the island of Åland in the late 1880s.^[3]
