Death and the Child
1889 painting by Edvard Munch / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Death and the Child is a composition created by Edvard Munch in 1889.[1][2] Since 1918 it is located in the Kunsthalle Bremen. It depicts a little girl at her mother’s deathbed who is looking at the viewer in a fearful manner. A second, thus far unknown painting of the artist was discovered underneath the canvas in 2005. A new version of that motif, which refers to Munch’s family and the early death of his mother was created between 1897 and 1899 and is now hanging in the Munch Museum in Oslo. An etching was made in 1901 with this motif.
