Norwegian artist
Edvard Munch suffered from anxiety and hallucinations. The painter created his most famous image,
The Scream, after it came to him when he was out for a walk at sunset on a fjord overlooking Oslo. He wrote that as the sun began to set, it suddenly turned the sky a blood red. “I stood there trembling with anxiety and I sensed an endless scream passing through nature.”
The painting is thought to represent human anxiety in the modern world, which Munch experienced throughout his life.
