Children on the Crag is a 1910 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts a landscape with a village and people, rendered in a colorful and expressive style. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a blue sky, with several buildings and trees scattered throughout. In the foreground, two figures are visible, dressed in dark clothing and hats. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors creates a sense of energy and movement in the painting. The overall effect is one of dynamic tension, as if the scene is about to unfold before our eyes.
