Youth is a 1913 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
The painting depicts a young man standing on a beach, with the ocean stretching out behind him. He is shirtless and wearing only briefs, with his left hand resting on his hip. The background features horizontal stripes of green, blue, and white, evoking the sea and sky. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors creates a sense of energy and movement, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure. The painting's simplicity and focus on the subject's pose and expression give it a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
