The Girls on the Bridge
The artist

What you see
A group of girls stand close together on a wooden bridge by the water on a warm evening.
The story
Munch painted this peaceful scene around 1901 in a small Norwegian village called Asgardstrand.
The style
He used long curving lines and soft, glowing colors to make the calm summer night feel gentle and dreamy.
Look closer
Look at the big pale house and the round trees reflected in the still water below the bridge.
Where to see it
Munch loved this subject so much that he painted several versions, now kept in museums around the world.
Fun fact
This friendly painting is by the same artist who made the famous worried face in 'The Scream'.
