On the Bridge 1903

Edvard Munch's *On the Bridge* (1903) depicts a group of figures standing on a bridge under a blue sky with a large tree and a yellow moon in the background. The scene is characterized by its elongated figures and vibrant use of color, particularly in the clothing of the women. Munch's painting, characteristic of his Symbolist style, evokes a sense of loneliness and isolation, themes that are present in many of his works. The figures on the bridge seem to be lost in their own thoughts, separated from each other and the world around them. The painting captures a haunting, melancholic mood, as the figures stand on the bridge, seemingly lost in their thoughts and anxieties. The colors of the scene, from the soft, muted blues and greens to the vivid yellows and reds, create a sense of unease and unease.
