Ship being Scrapped by Edvard Munch is one of those images that never dates. Our studio recreates it as a hand painted oil painting — textured, color-rich, and ready to hang as canvas wall art in a hallway, study, or reception area.
1909
Oil on canvas.
The era of the sailing ships was almost over when Munch arrived in Kragero. The picture shows the bark Alfarin while she was scrapped in 1909. The picture is a documentation not only of this ship’s destiny, it also signals the end of an era in the history of the town. Alfarin was built for consul and ship owner Thomes Thomesen in 1873, and most of her time she had local owners. The ship’s different name probably means the one who travels everywhere, hence an all farer of the seven seas. The scrapping of the ship takes place in Bonneviebukta, and the steep rock of Tangeheia can be seen in the background. The bay below the church used to be the site of a shipyard, but from 1900 a merchant named Olsen ran a ship scrapping company here. The area was changed when the Kragero railway was built in the 1920’s. The tunnel through Tangeheia was built for the trains, but was rebuilt for cars after the railway was closed at the end of the 1980’s. The steep rock and the road can still be seen from the spot where Munch painted. The white and yellow houses along the road are gone, while the houses on top of the rock are still there.
As hallway wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other expressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of Ship being Scrapped by eye and build up the landscape forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished landscape oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this landscape oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give a hallway an instant focal point. Its expressionist palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
