Moonlight on the Beach 1904

"Moonlight on the Beach" is a 1904 painting by Edvard Munch, a Norwegian symbolist artist, known for his expressive and often melancholic works. The painting captures a nocturnal seascape, depicting the soft glow of moonlight on the water and a sandy shore with scattered rocks. The bright yellow moon, a prominent feature in the composition, casts an ethereal light on the scene, creating an atmosphere of solitude and mystery. The painting's evocative use of color and brushstrokes emphasizes the emotional impact of the landscape, reflecting Munch's artistic exploration of themes of loneliness and the human condition.
