More about this artwork

"**On the Bridge**" by Edvard Munch, painted in 1903, showcases a group of people on a wooden bridge that cuts across the composition, guiding the viewer's eye both toward and across the bridge's expanse. The painting is distinctly split between two visually contrasting groupings of figures.On the left side, four brightly dressed women are gathered closely together, their dresses falling in softly rendered folds that capture both light and shadow beautifully, imparting a sense of sunshine and airiness. The women wear hats typical of the period, and their faces, although somewhat indistinct, beam with serene expressions, pausing as if in mid-conversation. The vividness of their attire, with dashes of yellow, light blue, and white, suggests a lively, daytime setting, enhanced further by the backdrop of lush greenery and a sun-drenched, idyllic landscape.In sharp contrast, the right side of the painting features a lone, enigmatic figure dressed almost entirely in black, shrouded in a manner that suggests introspection or melancholy. This figure is markedly turned away from the viewer and the group of women, intensifying a sense of personal isolation or introspective solitude.

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.
