DESCRIPTION:Sergei Diaghilev’s 1898 Exhibition of Russian and Finnish Ar
 t exemplifies how Finland’s economic prosperity and relative autonomy as
  a Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire led to transcultural exchange. \nUnfo
 rtunately the Russification Programme\, initiated in 1899\, changed an ami
 cable relationship between the Russian Empire and its Finnish territory to
  one of oppression. The Finnish Pavilion at the 1900 Paris Exposition Univ
 erselle demonstrates how quickly Finland’s embrace of nineteenth-century
  nationalism transformed from a cultural blossoming to a politicised quest
  for autonomy.  A moment of artistic potential quickly dissolved into one 
 of oppression and resistance.\n\nKsenia Pavlenko is an MPhil candidate in 
 History of Art\, supervised by Dr. Polly Blakesley\, researching the visua
 l culture of Finland as a Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire.\n\nImage cred
 it: Magnus Enckell\, Death's Walk\, 1896.
