The Scream is a progression of expressionist sketches and prints by Norwegian craftsman Edvard Munch, demonstrating an anguished figure against a dark red sky. The scene out of sight is Oslofjord, seen from the slope of Ekeberg, in Oslo. Edvard Munch made a few variants of The Scream in different media. The one appeared above was painted in 1893 and is in plain view in The National Gallery of Norway. It was stolen in 1994 out of a prominent craftsmanship robbery and recuperated a while later. In 2004 another variant of The Scream was stolen from the Munch Museum, just to be recuperated in 2006.
