story of the work:

"From Kragerø," painted by Edvard Munch in 1916, depicts a coastal landscape in Norway, reflecting the artist's deep connection to his homeland and the influence of natural surroundings on his work. The painting is notable for its vibrant color palette and expressive brushwork, characteristic of Munch's exploration of emotional and psychological themes, and it exemplifies his later style, which integrates elements of Impressionism with his signature Symbolist approach.
