Summer Evening (Sommernacht) 1895

Edvard Munch's lithograph, "Summer Evening (Sommernacht)", from 1895, depicts a solitary figure standing amidst a grove of trees. The stark outlines and minimal detail create an atmospheric sense of isolation and introspection, characteristic of Munch's expressive style. The figure's large, vacant eyes and somber expression suggest a melancholic mood, further amplified by the shadowy forms of the trees and the pale moon hanging in the sky. This print is considered a powerful example of Munch's exploration of human psychology and the anxieties of modern life.
