Trees By The Canal
1908
Before he became the king of existential dread with 'The Scream,' Edvard Munch found peace in nature. Painted in 1908, this landscape shows tall trees leaning over a canal path, casting long, dramatic shadows that stretch across the ground. The bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant greens and blues hint at the emotional intensity he was famous for, but here it's channeled into a quiet, scenic moment. It's a rare glimpse of Munch just enjoying a nice walk by the water.
