"The Scream," created by Edvard Munch in 1893, is one of the most famous and evocative artworks in history. The painting depicts a figure standing on a bridge, clutching its head in a moment of intense emotional distress, with an expression of existential anguish. The swirling sky, rendered in vibrant oranges and reds, contrasts with the dark, undulating landscape and fjord below, amplifying the sense of turmoil. Munch's use of bold colors and dramatic lines captures a profound sense of anxiety and despair, reflecting the artist's exploration of human emotion and psychological states. This iconic work is a cornerstone of the Symbolist and Expressionist movements.
