Alma Mater is a 1940 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
The painting depicts a woman in a red top and green skirt standing in a field, surrounded by several people. The woman is holding a baby and appears to be breastfeeding. The people around her are engaged in various activities, such as working in the field or sitting on the ground. The background of the painting features a landscape with hills and a blue sky. The painting is done in a style that is reminiscent of Edvard Munch's work, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The use of color is particularly striking, with the red and green of the woman's clothing standing out against the more muted tones of the background.
