Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth at the Munchmuseet Oslo
From April 27 to August 24, 2024, the Munchmuseet Oslo hosts “Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth”, the first exhibition on landscapes by Edvard Munch, focusing on his approach to nature.

On the one hand, Edvard Munch viewed nature as a cyclically self-renewing power; on the other, he saw it as a reflection of his own inner turmoil. Munch developed a pantheistic understanding of nature, which he projected onto the forests and coasts of Norway. The dramatic weather depicted in his paintings is especially striking in light of the current climate crisis.
Edvard Munch’s art is first and foremost known for its striking explorations of deep human emotions. Throughout his career, however, his strong fascination with the natural world played perhaps an equally important role as his interest in the psychic dimensions of existence. Reflective of his wide-ranging imagination and sensibility, Munch explored nature motifs and the landscape genre in order to question humankind’s place in a cosmic cycle of life, and to celebrate the beauty of the elements as well as nature’s transformative powers.
Despite the leading role that the natural world plays in Munch’s production, there has been little sustained research into the subject. The exhibition “Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth” is the first major attempt to explore the importance of Munch’s depictions of nature in depth and to challenge common conceptions. By presenting lesser-known works alongside some of his most famous paintings, Trembling Earth sheds light on the artistic, scientific, and philosophical ideas that influenced Munch’s work, and shows how his art resonates with the current climate crisis. Munch’s time saw an awareness of the dangers of climate change related to expanding industrialization and urbanization throughout Europe. At the same time, scientific breakthroughs helped promote a new understanding of the complexities of the natural world. The multilayered, open-ended character of Munch’s visions makes his works highly pertinent at a time haunted by the instability of natural systems and deeply troubling scenarios of future climate change.
Before its stay in Postdam, “Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth” was on view at the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA, from June 10, 2023 to October 15, 2023, and at the Museum Barberini, Potsdam, from November 18, 2023 to April 1, 2024.

In a surprising turn of events at Bonhams Important Instruments of Science and Technology Sale in London on April 24th, a remarkably rare 15th-century astrolabe soared past its pre-sale estimate, fetching an impressive £508,400 ($635,000).
Jon Baddeley, a specialist at Bonhams, expressed his astonishment at the outcome, stating, “This is one of the strongest results we’ve seen at auction at Bonhams Knightsbridge in the past decade.” Describing the astrolabe as an “early smartphone of sorts,” Baddeley emphasized its multifaceted utility, noting its significance in timekeeping, navigation, celestial observation, and even decision-making.
The star of the auction was the Important Regiomontanus/Cardinal Bessarion Astrolabe, which bears the inscription: “Under the protection of the divine Bessarion on whom all can be said to depend I arise in Rome the work of John 1462.” This historical artifact stands as a testament to the patronage between Johannes Bessarion, a Greek Cardinal, and Johann Müller, later known as Regiomontanus, a German humanist.
Bessarion, who rose to prominence as a Cardinal-priest in the 15th century, advocated for the reconciliation of the Greek and Roman churches and served as Patriarch of Constantinople from 1463. Müller, a student of astronomy at the University of Vienna, entered Bessarion’s circle in 1460 under the mentorship of renowned astronomer Georg Peurbach. The astrolabe showcased at the auction marked the beginning of their patronage relationship, fueled by a mutual passion for the humanities.
The significance of the Regiomontanus/Bessarion astrolabe extends beyond its rarity. As one of only five dated astrolabes of its type in existence, it serves as a tangible link to a pivotal period of scientific and spiritual transition in European culture. The astrolabe’s engravings, characterized by humanist Roman script with remnants of Gothic influence in its numerals and motifs, offer a glimpse into the artistic and intellectual landscape of the 15th century.
The auction, featuring 69 lots, exceeded expectations by achieving a total of £1,028,192, with 90% of the items finding buyers. The remarkable success of this auction underscores the enduring allure of historical artifacts and the continued relevance of scientific and technological instruments from centuries past.
Founded in 1793, Bonhams has representatives in over 30 countries and operates flagship salerooms in London, New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong. It is a global network of auction houses boasting the largest number of international salerooms and offering the broadest range of collecting categories, catering to all price points.
