<p>L'église St Blaise de style romano-byzantin date du XIIe siècle. Elle est tout ce qui subsiste de l'ancienne commanderie et hôpital pour pèlerins de St Jacques.

<p> <b>Rochers couverts de glace et de neige</b><br />
Œuvre de Pekka Halonen (1865-1933) <br />
1911.<br />
Huile sur toile, 96 × 155,5 cm.<br />
Helsinki, Ateneum Art Museum.<br />
Finnish National Gallery<br />
<br />
<i>Jusque-là réputé pour ses paysages de plein hiver, Pekka Halonen découvre aussi le soleil glacial des journées de printemps, qui fait scintiller la neige. Dans les années 1910, ses œuvres se caractérisent ainsi par une lumière éblouissante, une touche en épaisseur et une palette composée de couleurs pures. Le peintre s’inspire bien souvent de son environnement le plus proche : Rochers couverts de glace et de neige représente la vue qui se déploie devant la porte de son atelier.</i> (Extrait du dossier de presse)<br />

Exposition &quot;Pekka Halonen. Un hymne à la Finlande&quot;<br />
Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris, Petit Palais.<br />
<i>Le Petit Palais rend hommage, pour la première fois en France, à Pekka Halonen (1865-1933), l’une des figures majeures de l’âge d’or de la peinture finlandaise. Avec cette rétrospective inédite, le musée poursuit son exploration des grands artistes étrangers pour lesquels Paris, à la charnière des XIXe et XXe siècles, fut un catalyseur fondamental. Comme son aîné Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905) et son grand ami Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931), Pekka Halonen complète sa formation à Paris. C’est auprès de Paul Gauguin, dont il est l’élève en 1893, qu’il trouve sa voie et forge son idéal : chanter l’âme de la Finlande, à travers ses paysages et ses traditions ancestrales, et vivre son art en adéquation avec ses engagements...</i> (Extrait du site de l'exposition)<br />
