Kullervo Sets Off for War (Finnish: Kullervon sotaanlähtö) is a painting by Akseli Gallen-Kallela from the year 1901.

[3] The theme for the painting is from the Kalevala, national epic of Finland.

Kullervo sits on a white horse ready to ride to war, to take revenge on his uncle Untamo.

Gallen-Kallela traveled to Siena, Italy, where he likely saw the frescoes by Simone Martini in the Palazzo Pubblico.

Martini's Equestrian portrait probably gave Gallen-Kallela inspiration for the setting of Kullervo.
