The Garden at Night 1902

Edvard Munch's 1902 etching, "The Garden at Night", depicts a nocturnal scene with a stark and haunting atmosphere. The composition centers on a solitary figure standing in a garden, shrouded in shadow, with a looming house in the background. The figure's bare chest and flowing drapery create a sense of vulnerability and melancholic beauty, a recurring theme in Munch's work. This piece showcases the artist's mastery of the etching technique, creating depth and texture in the image, capturing the eerie serenity of the night. The artwork is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, making it accessible to art enthusiasts worldwide.
