Edvard Munch’s "Lady from the Sea" (1896) is a painting that depicts a woman emerging from the water, her tail disappearing into the waves. The painting is a powerful and evocative image of the feminine mystique and the power of the sea. Munch's use of color and light in "Lady from the Sea" creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. The woman's figure is bathed in a warm light, while the surrounding sea is dark and foreboding. The painting's subject matter reflects the artist’s fascination with the subconscious and the irrational, which became central themes of his work. "Lady from the Sea" is considered a key example of Munch's Symbolist style, which explores themes of death, love, and the human condition.
