Description of the artwork
Work: Rain on the Side
Artist: Edvard Munch
Year: 1910
Museum: Munch Museum
Dimensions: 107.5 x 93.5 cm
Created in 1910, in Oslo, the canvas Rain on the Side bears witness to a time marked by the emergence of expressionism. Edvard Munch, an iconic figure of this artistic movement, captures a poignant vision of the human condition. The painting is currently housed in the Munch Museum, where it is part of an exceptional collection dedicated to the artist. Its imposing dimensions add to the visual impact of this canvas.
“Every drop of rain tells a story.” This quote could summarize the spirit that animated Munch during the creation of this masterpiece. The artist was inspired by a walk on a rainy morning, where the reflections on the cobblestones and the soothing sound of the rain awakened intense emotions in him, resulting in a painting rich in nuances.
In this evocative painting, Munch depicts an urban scene under a light drizzle. The blurred silhouettes of passersby move, sinking into an ambient melancholy. The rain becomes a symbol of isolation and introspection, enveloping the characters in a vibrant and touching atmosphere, while creating a fascinating play of shadows and lights.
Rain on the Side is a pivotal work in Munch's career, marking a transition towards a deeper exploration of emotion. At this time, the artist also created other iconic canvases, such as The Scream and The Madonna, each revealing a technical and emotional evolution in his distinctive style.
This oil painting reveals an elaborate technique, combining glazes and impastos to create an immersive atmosphere. The successive layers of paint envelop each character in a mysterious halo, while the brush movement accentuates the fluidity of the rain, thus enhancing the depth and emotion of the canvas.
The gray, green, and bluish tones dominate this composition, conveying a sense of sadness and contemplation. The delicate shades used by Munch evoke an impression of freshness, while the subtle contrasts enhance the emotional tension. Each color seems to vibrate, giving a soul to the canvas.
Our artisanal process begins with an oil painting on museum-quality linen canvas, respecting the style of the expressionist movement. After a precise manual sketch, several layers are applied by hand, while also respecting the original proportions. Every detail, whether it be the Prussian blue or the chrome green, is carefully chosen to recreate the authenticity of the canvas. The realization includes about 40 hours of hard work, each step imbued with passion and precision. At the end of the process, a UV-protective varnish is applied to ensure the durability and stability of the colors, transforming this reproduction into a work filled with life, ready to evoke the emotion of the original masterpiece.
