Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944) was a Norwegian painter who played a great role in late 19th-century Symbolism. The paintings he made focused on the internal view of the objects, as he believed that art should reflect an emotion or idea rather than represent the natural world in the objective. Munch explored the themes of love, fear, death, melancholia and anxiety via his paintings.
