About the piece

Painted in 1912, 'The Yellow Log' showcases Edvard Munch's mastery of color and emotion within a natural setting. The vibrant yellow of the felled timber provides a dramatic focal point against the cool blues and purples of the Nordic winter forest, reflecting the artist's unique perspective on nature and the passage of time.
