The Scream – Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) by Edvard Munch

The Scream Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) by Edvard Munch (1893)
The scene was identified as being the view from a road overlooking Oslo, Norway; the Oslofjord and Hovedøya, from the hill of Ekeberg.
“I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature”
– Edvard MunchTheScreama
