Norwegian painter and printmaker Edvard Munch's most famous and enduring work of art, “The Scream” (known in Norwegian as “Skrik” and in German as “Der Schrei der Natur” or “The Scream of Nature”), which actually presently exists in four versions: two pastels (1893 and 1895) and two paintings (1893 and 1910). There are also several lithographs of "The Scream” (from 1895 and later).

12 December, 1863

Born in Ådalsbruk, a village in the Løten municipality of Innlandet county, on this day in 1863, Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944), a Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intensely evocative treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late 19th-century Symbolism and greatly influenced German Expressionism in the early 20th century.
