More information

The models for this double portrait from 1905 were two girls from the Norwegian fishing village of Åsgårdstrand. Edvard Munch had a house there and painted the local people. The apple tree in blossom symbolises the innocence of youth. Munch is best known for his sombre Symbolist work of the 1890s. This painting is fairly mild by comparison, and the combination of two young girls and a blossoming fruit tree is also decidedly conventional. It is only the manner of painting that is radical, and it was long considered controversial.
