The Sun ☰ Munch ☲ Canvas portrait this is not a traditionalThe Sun (1911) by Edvard Munch is one of many works created in the planning for murals for the University of Oslo's ceremonial hall. It was his first major commission for a public institution, for which he made several hundred preparatory drawings and paintings over multiple years.
