Procession of Shadows

In Edvard Munch’s Anxiety (1894), a procession of pale, hollow-eyed figures advances across a bridge, their faces etched with despair. The swirling sky and blood-red fjord mirror their inner turmoil, echoing the emotional intensity of Munch’s earlier work, The Scream. Rendered in oil on canvas, the painting’s stark contrasts and haunting atmosphere invite viewers to confront the universal human experience of existential dread. This work can be seen at [The Munch Museum, Oslo,https://www.munchmuseet.no/en/object/MM.M.00515].
