Moonrise (Mäneoppgang)

Edvard Munch
Norwegian, 1863–1944
1908-09
A lithograph print by Edvard Munch that pairs two seated figures with a moonlit horizon to evoke intimate melancholy and atmospheric feeling.
Its spare, horizontal layout and restless, sketchy strokes immediately focus attention on the couple's closeness set against a broad, empty sea and a tiny, luminous moon.
By using lithography's immediacy to prioritize mood and inner experience over naturalistic detail, Munch helped establish printmaking as a powerful medium for modern psychological expression and influenced later expressionist practice.
