The Women on the Bridge 1934 - 1940

"The Women on the Bridge" is a painting by Edvard Munch, a Norwegian Symbolist artist, created between 1934 and 1940. The painting depicts a group of women standing on a bridge, their figures rendered in bold, expressive strokes. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the bright yellow of the women's hats and the contrasting green of the foliage, enhances the sense of movement and energy. The composition is dynamic, drawing the viewer's eye across the bridge and towards the figures in the foreground. Munch's signature style, characterized by emotional intensity and a focus on psychological experience, is evident in this work.
