Woman in Evening Landscape is a 1896 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
You're looking at a painting of a woman standing in a landscape at dusk. She's wearing a long, dark dress and a hat, and she's facing away from us. The background is a field with some houses in the distance. The woman is standing on a path that leads down to the houses. The painting is done in oil paint, and the colors are muted, with lots of blues and greens. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is by Edvard Munch, a Norwegian artist who was known for his bold and expressive works. If you want to learn more about his style and technique, you might want to look up the term "impasto".
Edvard Munch ( MUUNK; Norwegian: ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter.
