About the piece

Painted in 1896, Edvard Munch’s 'Separation' uses his signature fluid brushwork to explore the theme of love and loss. A dark-clad man stands rooted in despair, while the woman he loves drifts away like a ghost, her golden hair physically connecting them despite their distance, set against a hauntingly beautiful Nordic shoreline.
