Madonna 1895 - 1896

Edvard Munch's "Madonna" (1895-1896) is a lithograph that exemplifies the artist's signature style of Symbolism and Expressionism. The artwork depicts a woman, almost skeletal in her appearance, against a backdrop of swirling, vibrant colors. Her large, expressive eyes convey a sense of anxiety and vulnerability, perhaps referencing themes of motherhood, mortality, and the human condition. The image is often interpreted as a poignant reflection on the complexities of life and death.
