Edvard Munch The Death of Marat II 1907 Expressionist Art Print

There is a raw, vibrating tension held within the vertical brushstrokes of this 1907 masterpiece. The composition features two stark figures—a reclining male and a standing female—rendered in a fragmented, expressionistic style that defines this print. Hues of pale ochre, deep blues, and bloody reds are applied with a frenetic energy, creating a textured surface that feels alive and unsettled against the cream-colored border.

About Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was the Norwegian painter behind The Scream, one of the most recognised images in art. Munch painted love, anxiety, illness and death with swirling lines and charged colour. Expressionism, which flourished in early 20th-century Germany and Austria, puts emotion before realism. The original image dates from 1907.
