Sommernatt 1917

Edvard Munch’s *Sommernatt* (1917) portrays a pair of figures embracing beneath a large tree. The figures are silhouetted against a landscape of rolling hills, a vast field, and a sky filled with swirling clouds. The painting's use of vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes is characteristic of Munch's Expressionist style, a movement that emphasized the artist's emotional response to the world. The painting conveys a sense of tranquility and intimacy, yet also hints at a deeper emotional resonance, suggesting a connection between the figures and the natural world.
