Childhood is a 1908 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows a nude figure on a beach. The person is lying on their stomach, with their head turned to the left. The figure is painted in loose, expressive brushstrokes, with a focus on capturing the play of light on the skin. The painting is done in a range of colors, from the warm tones of the skin to the cool blues and greens of the background. The brushstrokes are bold and confident, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The painting is held at the Munch Museum. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
