More about this artwork

"The Sower" by Edvard Munch, painted between 1912 and 1913, is a vivid portrayal of a man sowing seeds in a field. The painting stands out due to its bold, expressionist style characterized by the use of thick brush strokes and a vibrant color palette.The figure of the sower dominates the foreground; he is depicted in mid-motion, with one arm extended backwards, preparing to cast seeds. His posture and the dynamic lines of his body suggest movement and vigor, emphasizing the action of sowing. Munch has used a rich, vivid blue for the sower’s sweater, which contrasts strikingly against the warmer tones of the earth and the gentle hues of the sky and distant mountains.The background features rolling hills in a mosaic of greens and pinks, giving a sense of a vast, open landscape. The mountains in the far distance, under a sky of soft blues and purples, add to the dreamlike quality of the setting, characteristic of Munch’s exploration of emotional and psychological themes.Overall, "The Sower" is striking in its expressive use of color and its dynamic portrayal of human labor connected with the natural world. It reflects Munch's interest in depicting the more profound experiences of human life and his ability to evoke feelings and ambiance through color and form.

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.
