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.

Edvard Munch was born in a rustic farmhouse in the village of Ådalsbruk in Løten, to Christian Munch, the son of a priest.

Edvard Munch was related to painter Jacob Munch ( 1776 – 1839 ) and historian Peter Andreas Munch ( 1810 – 1863 ).

Munch was enthralled by the vast display of modern European art, including the works of three artists who would prove influential: Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec — all notable for how they used color to convey emotion.

Munch was particularly inspired by Gauguin's " reaction against realism " and his credo that " art was human work and not an imitation of Nature ", a belief earlier stated by Whistler.

Munch was pleased with the " great commotion ", and wrote in a letter: " Never have I had such an amusing time — it's incredible that something as innocent as painting should have created such a stir.
