Tallinn, capital of Estonia

The Estonian Society in Sydney commissioned this painting in the 1980s. The artist, Gunnar Neeme, arrived in Australia in 1949. He was a writer as well as a painter, illustrator and graphic designer. He designed book covers for many Estonian publications. Tallinn is a heritage-listed medieval city and the peaked towers featured here were built between the 13th and 16th centuries.
