About this work

Artist: Edvard Munch (1863–1944)
Year: 1894–1895
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 90.5 × 70.5 cm
Collection: National Museum of Norway, Oslo (one of five painted versions)
Movement: Symbolism
Series: The Frieze of Life

A half-length woman with closed eyes and long dark hair arches back in a pose of ecstasy, bare to the waist, encircled by a red halo and a swirling dark ground. Munch painted five versions of the composition between 1892 and 1895 as part of The Frieze of Life, his cycle on love, anxiety and death; this one, from 1894 to 1895, is in the National Museum in Oslo. The title is deliberately ambiguous, fusing the Virgin with a lover at the moment of conception, and the lithograph version he made in 1895 adds a foetus and sperm-like forms to the border. The loose, dragged brushwork and the dissolving outline of the body were radical for the time. The version in the Munch Museum was stolen in 2004 and recovered in 2006.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A dark, dissolving nude with a red halo that suits a bedroom or dim study rather than a family room, at 16×24 in black on a deep wall. Hang it alone or with another Symbolist work; it does not sit easily beside bright colour.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Madonna in the public domain?

Yes. Edvard Munch (1863–1944) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Museum of Norway.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Madonna painted, and in what medium?

Madonna dates from 1894–1895 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 90.5 × 70.5 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Madonna we'd choose 16×24.
