About the piece

Created around the turn of the century, 'Tragedy' exemplifies Edvard Munch's psychological exploration of human relationships and existential dread. The flowing, vibrant red hair of the central figure creates a striking visual contrast against the somber, mask-like faces of the men and the swallowing darkness, resulting in a powerful statement piece that commands attention.
