Thorvald Stang 1909

"Thorvald Stang" is a 1909 portrait by Edvard Munch, a prominent Norwegian painter known for his Expressionist style and exploration of themes like anxiety and mortality. This painting, located in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, depicts Thorvald Stang, a prominent figure in Norwegian society, standing in a relaxed pose, his hand resting in his pocket, holding a pipe. Munch's characteristic use of bold colors and gestural brushstrokes lends the work an emotional intensity, reflecting his unique perspective on human existence. The portrait's large dimensions (292 x 96.5 cm) and the subject's imposing presence make it a striking piece of art.
