About the piece

Created in 1895, 'At the Deathbed' is a powerful exploration of human emotion and mortality by Edvard Munch. The composition's striking contrast between the vibrant, almost suffocating orange of the room and the dark, ghostly figures of the mourners creates a visceral sense of despair and communal silence that is characteristic of Munch's most celebrated works.
