The Mystery of a Summer Night 1892

"The Mystery of a Summer Night" (1892) by Edvard Munch depicts a seascape at dusk, with a brilliant orange sunset over the water. The painting's evocative, painterly brushstrokes and the deep blue hues of the sea evoke a sense of mystery and solitude, characteristic of Munch's Symbolist style. The dramatic lighting and the lone figure in the foreground suggest a sense of longing and isolation, reflecting themes of anxiety and existentialism prevalent in Munch's work.
