Moonlight on the Shore 1892

"Moonlight on the Shore" (1892) by Edvard Munch depicts a tranquil seascape bathed in the soft glow of the moon. The painting, characterized by the artist's signature Expressionist style, captures a sense of solitude and introspection. The composition features a shoreline dotted with rounded rocks, with the reflected moonlight creating a path leading into the distance. The dark blue and green hues of the sky and water add to the somber atmosphere, creating a feeling of mystery and depth. This artwork, currently housed in the Rasmus Meyer Collection in Bergen, Norway, is a testament to Munch's evocative use of color and form to convey emotional states and explore themes of nature and human experience.
