Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 16.2 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 18.5 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 55.1 × 41.2 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Edvard Munch's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 91 × 68 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo, Norway. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"The Scream" - Munch's 1893 masterpiece hangs in Oslo, a fever dream of anxiety made flesh. Or should I say paint? The figure at its heart - that bald, alien creature with hands clasped to its face in abject horror - has become an icon of modern alienation.

But look beyond that ghostly visage. The landscape bends and warps, as if reality itself is melting. Swirling brushstrokes in fiery oranges and reds dominate the sky, bleeding into cooler blues below. It's as if the world is aflame, the very air pulsing with dread.

Munch's technique here is raw, almost crude. Broad strokes and simplified forms create a child-like intensity. Yet there's sophistication in how he uses color to evoke emotion. Those writhing oranges feel oppressive, suffocating.

The composition pulls your eye inexorably to that central figure. Two shadowy forms in the background only emphasize its isolation. A railing cuts diagonally across the foreground, leading us right to the screamer - and perhaps offering the only solid ground in this hallucinatory scene.

What's most striking is how Munch makes the internal external. This isn't just a painting of someone screaming - it's as if we're seeing the scream itself made visible, rippling out to distort the entire world. It's a primal howl of existential anguish, rendered in pigment and turpentine.

No wonder it's become so iconic. In our age of climate anxiety and global instability, who hasn't felt like letting out a good scream now and then?
