More about this artwork

The painting titled "Man in the Cabbage Field" by Edvard Munch illustrates a striking scene of a man tending to a cabbage field. The composition is rich with vibrant and thick brushstrokes that bring a dynamic texture to the scene. The central figure, a man in a blue shirt and dark cap, stands amidst the large, leafy cabbages which dominate the foreground of the painting. His posture and the position of his hands suggest that he is either harvesting or inspecting the vegetables.The colors used in the painting are vivid, with various shades of green making up the cabbage plants, providing a lush, almost palpable look to them. The background features a more muted palette, with hints of blue and purple that might depict distant hills or fields under a wide, overcast sky. The horizon is softly defined, allowing the focus to remain intently on the man and his immediate surroundings.Munch's style here departs from his more well-known expressionistic and somewhat somber works, showcasing a scene of daily rural life with a palette that emanates the vitality and the natural beauty of the outdoors. This painting gives a glimpse into the earthly connection and the simple, yet profound, act of working the land.

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.
