Edvard Munch | Ep. 97

About this episode

This episode explores the life of Edvard Munch and the unsettling story behind his famous painting that embodies fear.

He painted one of the most famous images of fear in history… but the real story behind it is far more unsettling. This is the life of Edvard Munch — where grief, anxiety, and memory shaped a kind of fear that didn’t need the supernatural.
