Jørgen Sørensen 1885

Edvard Munch's 1885 oil painting, "Jørgen Sørensen," is a portrait of the artist's friend, a fellow artist. Known for his expressive style and use of color, Munch portrays Sørensen with a melancholic gaze, emphasizing his dark, almost brooding demeanor. The portrait is a glimpse into the artistic community in Norway at the end of the 19th century, capturing the mood of realism and introspection prevalent in the art of the time.
