Burnt Village

Burnt Village is an oil-on-canvas painting by Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt completed in 1879.

The painting depicts an imaginary scene from the time of the Cudgel War of 1596–1597, a peasant uprising in Finland, which was then part of the Kingdom of Sweden. In the painting, a Finnish peasant family has fled their home village, which has been burnt down by a military force. The creator Albert Edelfelt donated the painting to Cygnaeus Gallery in Helsinki, Finland, where it is on display.

Edelfelt made a study in oils for the painting in 1878–79. The finished painting was displayed at the Salon of 1879 in Paris.
