More about this artwork

Edvard Munch's painting titled "Marat in the Bath and Charlotte Corday" from 1930 shows a vibrant and emotionally charged representation of the famous historical scene involving the radical French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat and his assassin Charlotte Corday. In this abstraction, Munch interprets the scene with his signature expressionist style, rich in color and emotive form.On the right side of the painting, Jean-Paul Marat is depicted in a bathtub, a significant element as he was famously murdered in his bath. Munch uses warm, orange and red tones to capture his figure, which adds a sense of urgency and intensity. The stark, naked portrayal of Marat is typical of Munch's focus on human vulnerability and raw emotion.On the left, Charlotte Corday stands upright, dressed in a dark dress. She holds a knife, depicted in a striking red color symbolizing the violence of her act. Her face, rendered in a neutral expression and pale colors, contrasts starkly with the dramatic act she is about to commit.The background of the painting features a patterned curtain or wall, using a palette of greens and blues which offers a cool counterpoint to the warmth of the figures.

Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter. His best known work, The Scream (1893), has become one of Western art's most iconic images.

His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today's Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'); from this emerged his distinctive style.
