About the piece

Painted in 1912, this vibrant work by Edvard Munch showcases his move toward high-energy, kinetic scenes of nature. The central horse is rendered with bold, sweeping brushstrokes and rich earthy tones that contrast sharply with the fractured blues and whites of the surrounding snow, creating a powerful sense of movement and presence.
