Vampire II 1902

Edvard Munch’s *Vampire II* (1902) is a powerful black and white woodcut depicting a woman with long flowing hair draped over a mysterious figure, possibly a vampire. The work is executed in a dramatic and expressive style characteristic of Munch's *Symbolism*, which was a style that explored the dark, emotional and psychological depths of human experience. The figure is rendered in stark contrast against the dark background, creating a sense of unease and suspense, exemplifying the anxieties and psychological fears of the late 19th century. The work is a testament to Munch's ability to capture the raw emotions and anxieties of the human condition, and its haunting image continues to captivate viewers today. *Vampire II* is currently housed at the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin, Germany.
