Edvard Munch (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 120 x 141 cm - 1894 - Expressionism (i)

About the Painting

Ashes, painted in 1894-95, is an oil on canvas masterpiece by Norwegian symbolist painter Edvard Munch. This powerful painting depicts a critical scene in a lovemaking tryst between a couple in the forest. The man is hunched over in shame or dejection, while the dishevelled woman is wide-eyed and motionless in frustration or despair. The picture's title suggests that, for whatever reason, the heat of passion has turned cold, leaving only ashes behind.
