Edvard Munch's portrait of Thor Lutken, painted in 1892, features an intriguing hidden landscape within the sleeve of the main figure. This painting is set to debut in Britain at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the exhibition 'Edvard Munch Portraits.' Lutken was a close friend of Munch, providing him professional support. The artwork was previously unknown, having been with Lutken's descendants and loaned to a museum in Spain before being sold in 2022. Munch is celebrated as a pioneer of expressionism, and this rediscovery adds to his legacy.
'This portrait reveals Munch's artistry as he painted not only a distinguished likeness of his friend Lutken but also an intriguing hidden narrative.'
'The portrait was hidden in Lutken's sleeve, showcasing Munch's mastery of expressionism and his ability to convey deeper meanings within his artworks.'
