Edvard Munch (; ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was 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. One of his most well-known works is
The Scream of 1893.
