About the piece

Created in 1893, this masterpiece by Edvard Munch captures the profound stillness and collective sorrow of a family in mourning. Using a sophisticated palette of sage green and deep blues, Munch employs his signature expressive style to transform a personal memory into a universal statement on the human condition.
