More about this artwork

"Young Woman on the Beach" by Edvard Munch is a captivating painting that invokes a serene yet introspective atmosphere. The artwork features a young woman, seen from behind, standing alone on a beach at twilight or early night. Her long blonde hair trails down her back, and she is dressed in a long, flowing pale blue gown that seems to gently sway with a breeze.The woman gazes out towards the sea, which stretches expansively in front of her, its surface reflecting the muted colors of the sky. The setting is quiet and somewhat melancholic, characterized by soft, indistinct lines and a palette dominated by cool blues and hints of yellow and white, enhancing the ethereal quality of the scene. This setting evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation.Munch's characteristic use of color and loose brushwork contribute to the painting's dreamlike, evocative mood. The scene might be interpreted as a moment of personal reflection or possibly a deeper exploration of human emotions and the individual’s relationship with nature—a common theme in Munch’s work. The vast, empty horizon in front of the woman could symbolize the unknowns in life or the vast expanse of her thoughts and emotions.

Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter. His best known work, The Scream (1893), has become one of Western art's most iconic images.

His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today's Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'); from this emerged his distinctive style.
