Edvard Munch's "Berlin Model"

"Berlin Model" is an oil on canvas painting by the renowned Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Although the exact date of creation is unknown, the work is believed to have been produced during Munch's time in Berlin, a period that was crucial for his artistic development. Munch's Berlin years were marked by his association with the Symbolist movement and his exploration of psychological themes, which would later culminate in his iconic work, "The Scream." The painting exemplifies Munch's characteristic use of color and form to convey emotional depth and existential angst. Munch's innovative approach to depicting human emotion had a profound impact on the development of Expressionism in the early 20th century. His work continues to influence contemporary artists and remains a subject of extensive scholarly study.
