Munch, "The Death of Marat", 1907

Knowledgeable people can confuse this picture with the work of Jacques Louis David, who became the symbol of the French Revolution. Edward Munch wrote his canvas 114 years after David. He paid attention not to the figure of a revolutionary publicist, but to the moment of his murder. In his inimitable manner, the author of "Scream" depicts the naked Charlotte Corday a moment after she severely slaughtered Marat. Injecting smears and an abundance of blood supplement the frightening effect of the picture.
