About the piece

Created in 1894, Edvard Munch's 'Madonna' is a quintessential work of the Expressionist movement. The painting captures a moment of transcendental experience, defined by the subject's ethereal pose, a striking red halo, and the fluid, energetic brushwork that characterizes Munch's symbolic style.
