More about this artwork

"Seated Nude" (1913) by Edvard Munch is a compelling expressionist painting that vividly captures the form and emotion of a female nude. In this artwork, Munch uses loose, fluid brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and life. The figure is depicted sitting, with her arms gently wrapped around one raised knee, lending an introspective or contemplative mood to the composition.The color palette in this painting is particularly striking, featuring a blend of warm oranges and yellows in the background that contrast sharply with the cooler tones of blues and greens used to depict the nude's body and the surrounding environment. This juxtaposition not only highlights the figure within the space but also contributes to the emotional intensity typical of Munch's works.Munch's treatment of the face and eyes, with dark, rounded contours and a noticeable gaze, adds a haunting quality that draws the viewer into a deeper engagement with the figure’s emotional state. The background elements are abstract and loosely defined, directing the focus primarily on the figure itself.Overall, this painting exemplifies Munch's ability to convey deep psychological states through his unique style, with a focus on emotional expression over physical realism.

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.
