Olaf Rye's Square towards South East is a 1892 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts a square, with buildings lining the street. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with a focus on earth tones and soft pastels. A notable detail is the use of light and shadow, with the sun casting long shadows across the square. This creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the scene.
