Village by the Sea is a 1909 tempera by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows a seaside village. It's done in tempera on a canvas with a muted color palette. The village is on a hill, with buildings and trees. There's a body of water in front, possibly the sea. The painting has a dreamy, somewhat abstract quality to it. The brushstrokes are visible, and the colors are blended together.
