In 1890 and 1892, Gallen-Kallela travelled in eastern Finland and Karelia, documenting folk art, vernacular architecture and physiognomic types for future use. Inspired by Karelian buildings, he designed a studio for himself in central Finland (Ruovesi, 1894-95); this is a key work in the architectural development of the Finnish National Romanticism movement. In his Ruovesi studio, Gallen-Kallela produced pioneering woodcuts, stained glass and other examples of the applied arts.
