Munch – History, 1910 | Monumental Expressionist Mural

Painted for the University of Oslo’s Aula, History depicts an old man beneath a gnarled oak tree, embodying ancestral wisdom passed through generations. Munch employs broad, simplified forms and a subdued Nordic palette to convey permanence and the cyclical nature of human knowledge.
