Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch/ was a Norwegian artist known for his work in the Expressionist movement. He was born on December 12, 1863 in Løten, Norway and passed away on January 23, 1944 in Oslo.

Other famous works by Munch include "Madonna" (1894-95), "The Death of a Child" (1894), "The Lovers" (1897) and "The Engagement" (1902). Munch also produced many other paintings, drawings, engravings and lithographs during his career, which have been exhibited in museums around the world.
