About The Attack
The Attack is a painting by the Finnish artist Edvard Isto, one of the most famous Finnish paintings. The painting represents the Russian double-headed eagle attacking the Finnish Maiden trying to rob her of her book of laws. The painting was completed in 1899, the same year when emperor Nicholas II of Russia gave his publication known as the February Manifesto. The name of the painting was suggested by Emmi Ajo, wife of Isto's good friend Benjamin Ajo. The Attack spread as prints all over Finland. Isto had thousands of prints made of his painting in both Finland and Germany.
