Official reproduction of Edvard Munch's work Self-Portrait, (1881-1882) from MUNCH's collection.
Edvard Munch’s Self-Portrait (1881–82) offers a glimpse into the early development of one of modern art’s most celebrated figures. Painted when Munch was just a young student at the Royal School of Design, this small oil on paper piece reflects his meticulous attention to detail and classical training. The portrait captures the artist’s head and shoulders in semi-profile, with precise lines and delicate contrasts of light and shadow emphasizing the depth and structure of his features.
This self-portrait not only reveals Munch’s technical skill but also his early exploration of identity and self-representation. His intense gaze meets the viewer’s eyes indirectly, creating a sense of introspection. The subdued, pale color palette and the artist’s careful brushstrokes give the work a timeless quality, while the classic compositional style mirrors his admiration for Renaissance ideals.
Originally displayed in the family’s living room, this piece held a personal significance for Munch and his relatives. Inscribed on the reverse is a note from his sister, Inger Munch, identifying the work as painted in 1882 while the family lived at Olaf Rye’s Square in Oslo.
Printed on museum-quality, FSC-certified paper (210 g/m²), this fine art print retains the depth and vibrancy of Munch’s original creation. Available in multiple sizes, it is perfect for creating a contemplative and artistic atmosphere in any space.
