Nothing softens a home office like a painted surface. Spring Day on Karl Johan Street by Edvard Munch arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the cityscape detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that cityscape oil painting shoppers look for.
1890
Oil on canvas
80 x 100 cm
Bergen Billedgalleri, Bergen, Norway.
Seurat replaces Manet as the leading influence on Munch in this work. The fluid masses of the crowds now sparkle and glitter with the speckled application of contrasting warm and cool colours.
Munch's emotive perception of the vigour and freshness of a spring day, however, breaks through the rationalist 'scientific' control of pointillism advocated by Seurat, and, as in the pointillist paintings by Van Gogh and Gauguin, impatience with the process produces inconsistent results over the surface - such as the trio, right of centre, who escape pointillist handling completely. In contrast to Pissarro, another influential exponent of pointillism, Munch sees the importance of maintaining a strong structure in order to impose a sense of depth; the greyish look pointillism often produces (which Seurat used to great effect in his late landscapes) can vitiate the power of form and lead to flaccidity. Munch's spontaneity avoids this pitfall.
Our artists reproduce this cityscape composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes cityscape oil painting so sought after for a home office.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of Spring Day on Karl Johan Street by eye and build up the cityscape forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished cityscape oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this cityscape oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give a home office 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.
