Analyzing A Painting

The Scream By Edvard Much

This painting wasn't drawn by who I originally thought it was drawn by so I guess i knew less about it than I thought I did.

What I do know is that the original name for this painting was in German and it translated to The Scream of Nature. The landscape in the back is actually Oslofjord, a bay south east of Norway. This however was viewed from Ekeberg, which is a neighborhood in Oslo. Every time I visit my cousin, I'd always see Oslofjord, and it's very beautiful. However I've only seen it from the actual location that the artist did once.

In this painting, it looks like it just past sunset, and the sky turned red, orange. The guy in the front, represents the painter, and he's just looking at nature, feeling amazed by it. Looking at his face, he looks shocked because of nature, and the red sky. He felt the scream of nature, like the original name of this painting. The sky suddenly turning red, walking across a bridge, looking at the Olsofjord.The person in this painting/the artist, is covering his ear. Maybe he's trying to block out the loud sound, possibly terrifying or maybe not. The sound isn't coming from him. His mouth might be opened but it's more like of an "OMG what's that sound" not a scream. I find it really cool, when I visited this place, the sky was actually literally red, which is really interesting.
