Under the Yoke/Suicide 1896

"Under the Yoke/Suicide" (1896) is a lithograph by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863–1944). The print depicts a scene of despair and isolation with a nude woman lying on the ground. The composition is fragmented and features three additional figures in the background, appearing as if floating in space. The woman's posture suggests surrender and is reminiscent of Munch's iconic painting, "The Scream." This artwork is an example of Munch's signature style, known for its bold lines, psychological intensity, and exploration of themes related to death, anxiety, and existentialism.
