In his diary,Munch described his inspiration for the painting: ‘One evening I was walking along a path.The city was on one side and the fjord below.I felt tired and ill.I stopped and looked out over the fjord.The sun was setting and the clouds turning blood red.I sensed a scream passing through nature.It seemed to me that I heard the scream.I painted this picture,painted the clouds as actual blood.The colour shrieked.This became The Scream’
