🌳#TreeTuesday ‘The Invisible Oak Tree and Munch’s Ekely’ By @janusface

I like these challenges on Steemit. It get you focused on colors, beauty in life and overall get you more attentive to your surroundings. I had this epiphany, that I do not know what the oldest tree in Oslo is.
I googled and it was supposedly the ‘Munch’s oak’ a stones throw from Munch’s former home and atelier, Ekely.

So, I went on to search for this mysterious oak.

However, even though I searched and searched, I could not find it.
Can a tree just disappear?

However, I found something cooler and unexpected.

This is Munch's Ekely, hidden behind a large Copper Beech.

And a part of the Munch Museum

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker with intensely psychological themes, with his The Scream of 1893 is one of his best known works.

In the extremely huge garden in Ekely there are a lot of old, mostly apples trees. It appears that Munch himself was fond of these trees.

1920–28 / Oil on canvas / 110 x 110 cm
Munch Museum

Today, the tree is much older and wiser perhaps.

It still got apples, though.

Two Women in the Garden
1919 / Oil on canvas / 149 x 129,5 cm

No women in the garden today, however. But the tree is still here.

Here you can see more tree-inspired Munch paintings, but I guess you have to be a Steemionaire to buy one!

I really love Munch’s paintings. They are very colorful, lively and expressional and combined with trees, it gives you a perfect TreeTuesday!
