Which subjects appeared often in Edvard Munch’s later paintings?

Following a nervous breakdown in 1908–1909, Edvard Munch’s artistic style shifted, becoming more positive and extroverted compared to his earlier, more intense work.1

In his later years, the subjects that appeared often in his paintings included:

• Landscapes: These became a recurring focus in his later output.1
• Men at work: Munch frequently depicted laborers and working-class subjects during this period.1
• Self-portraits: Munch continued to paint self-portraits throughout his life, including his later years, such as the haunting Self-Portrait: The Night Wanderer (c. 1923–24).1
• Allegorical images: As part of his commission for the Oslo University Murals (1909–1916), he produced large-scale allegorical works, most notably a vast painting of the sun.1

While these later works marked a change in tone, his enduring legacy remains largely defined by his work of the 1890s, which explored mysterious and dangerous psychic forces.1
