Apple Tree By The Studio
1920-28
Edvard Munch, famous for his screaming faces, actually loved painting nature in his later years. This vibrant scene shows an apple tree heavy with fruit, painted with loose, energetic brushstrokes that make the leaves look like they're dancing in the wind. He created this while living at his studio in Ekely, Norway, where he spent his final years surrounded by the very orchards he painted. It's a far cry from his earlier, angst-filled works, showing a man at peace with the changing seasons and finding joy in the simple beauty of his garden.
