Munch – Death and Crystallization | 1909 Symbolist Oil

Painted during Munch’s recovery period in Copenhagen, this work explores the cyclical transformation between organic decay and mineral rebirth. The composition bridges his earlier Symbolist preoccupations with mortality toward a more abstracted visual language influenced by scientific imagery of crystal formation.
