Tampere Cathedral – back
The cathedral is famous for its frescoes, painted by the symbolist Hugo Simberg between 1905 and 1906.[2] The paintings aroused considerable adverse criticism in their time[3], featuring versions of Simberg's The Wounded Angel and The Garden of Death. Of particular controversy was Simberg's painting of a winged serpent on a red background in the highest point of the ceiling, which some contemporaries interpreted as a symbol of sin and corruption.
The altar-piece, representing the future resurrection of people of all races, was painted by Magnus Enckell. – Wikipedia
