Snowstorm by the Sea
1910-12
Edvard Munch, best known for his screaming faces, traded existential dread for a freezing blizzard in this chaotic coastal scene. Painted around 1910, the thick, slashing brushstrokes of white and blue make you practically feel the biting wind and freezing spray. It’s wild to see how loose and almost abstract he got here, proving he was capturing the raw, violent energy of nature rather than just a pretty postcard view. You can even spot his signature 'E Munch' hiding in the bottom right corner of this stormy masterpiece.
