You may have stumbled on a possible path to an alternative:

"Munch as a painter, I'm thinking, is important because I want his landscapes and paintings of trees (especially among his later paintings) to set the stage."

...as a painter... I want... landscapes... of trees... to set the stage.

(Stage = Ibsen)

Commission to Paint the Stage

Don't mind me. Just brewing...
