Munch – Landscape and Dead Bodies | 1912 Expressionist Oil

Dark brooding landscape with sprawling lifeless figures under an ominous sky, rendered in murky greens, ochres, and earth tones with agitated brushwork

Painted during Munch’s turbulent middle period, this work merges the Norwegian terrain with mortality imagery that haunted his oeuvre. The composition dissolves the boundary between earth and flesh, with corpse-like forms seemingly absorbed into the windswept hillside. The palette shifts between sickly yellows and deep forest greens, creating an atmosphere of post-apocalyptic stillness.
