Burnt Village is an oil-on-canvas painting by Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt completed in 1879.[1][2][3]
The painting depicts an imaginary scene from the time of the Cudgel War of 1596–1597, a peasant uprising in Finland, which was then part of the Kingdom of Sweden. In the painting, a Finnish peasant family has fled their home village, which has been burnt down by a military force.[1] The creator Albert Edelfelt donated the painting to Cygnaeus Gallery in Helsinki, Finland, where it is on display.[4]
Edelfelt made a study in oils for the painting in 1878–79.[1][5]
