The Sun 1910 - 1912

"The Sun" (1910-1912) by Edvard Munch is a vibrant expressionist artwork capturing the radiant energy of the sun. The painting features a large, white, circular sun with a black dot at its center, radiating outward with bright colors. The sun appears to be setting over a body of water, with the sky and horizon rendered in expressive, layered strokes of blue, yellow, pink, and orange. The overall effect is one of intense, almost overwhelming light and color, reflecting Munch's artistic interest in exploring emotional states and psychological experiences. The painting's bold colors and dynamic composition showcase the artist's signature style.
