About the piece

Created in 1894, Edvard Munch's 'The Day After' is a seminal work of psychological expressionism. The composition utilizes a muted, earthy palette and a low, intimate perspective to convey a sense of exhaustion and still silence, characteristic of Munch's focus on the internal human experience.
