Edvard Munch, Norwegian artist

“I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous infinite scream of nature.” (1892 diary entry; the artist is famous for “The Scream”)

Dec. 12, 1863-Jan. 23, 1944
