About the piece

Painted in 1893, Edvard Munch’s 'Death in the Sickroom' is a seminal work of modernism exploring the themes of memory and loss. Using a clashing palette of acidic green and deep orange, Munch externalizes the psychological weight of his family mourning his sister Sophie, creating a hauntingly beautiful scene that commands any room.
