About the Painting


Christmas in the Brothel is an oil-on-canvas painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Completed in 1904/05, this Expressionist masterpiece measures 60 x 88 cm and is housed at the Munch Museum in Oslo. The painting was created during a challenging time for Munch, as he struggled with anxieties and managed them with alcohol.

The Scene


The scene depicts a brothel, which Munch visited frequently during this period of his life. The central figure is a woman, dressed in red, who looks directly at the viewer. Her expression is one of sadness and despair, reflecting the harsh realities of her life. The background is dark and moody, with shadows and muted colors adding to the overall sense of melancholy.

Interpretation


The painting has been interpreted in many ways, with some seeing it as a commentary on the exploitation of women in society.

Regardless of interpretation, the painting is a powerful exploration of human emotion and experience.
