Murder on the Road is a 1919 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts a somber scene of a figure lying on a road, with a tree looming in the foreground. The figure is dressed in dark attire, and the tree's branches stretch out towards the sky. In the background, a body of water is visible, with buildings and trees lining its edge. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of melancholy and foreboding. The artist's use of muted colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the sense of tension and unease in the painting. The figure on the road appears to be the focal point of the composition, drawing the viewer's eye towards the center of the canvas.
