The Death of Marat, 1907 by Edvard Munch
Despite his new confidence in masculinity, the injury he had suffered in the Tulla Larsen denouement and the alleged persecution at the hands of her 'cabal' of his former friends prolonged Munch's consciousness of female perfidy, leading him to contrive two different compositions entitled The Death of Marat. The story of Marat's murder by Charlotte Corday bears only the remotest resemblance to that of Munch and Tulla Larsen but evidently it was enough for Munch's symbol-stretching mind. The idea may have been suggested by David's famous painting which, like the present picture, is based on a severely classical design of horizontals and verticals parallel to the picture plane. A nude Munch lying on a bed, blood dripping from his wounded hand, is substituted for Marat dying in his bath, and a nude Tulla, an erect frontal figure with her accomplished deed behind her, for the upright packing-case in David's picture.
The entire surface of the painting is covered with long, heavy stripes of paint in variegated colors with white interstic

Edvard Munch
Norwegian painter (1863–1944)
For the film, see Edvard Munch (film).
Edvard Munch (MUUNK;Norwegian:[ˈɛ̀dvɑɖˈmʊŋk]ⓘ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter. His 1893 work The Scream has become one of Western art's most acclaimed images.
His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'); from this emerged his distinctive style.
Travel brought new influences and outlets. In Paris, he learned much from Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, especially their use of color. In Berlin, he met the Swedish dramatist August Strindberg, whom he painted, as he embarked on a major series of paintings he would later call The Frieze of Life, depicting a series of deeply-felt themes such as love, anxiety, j

The Death of Marat
1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David
The Death of Marat (French: La Mort de Marat or Marat Assassiné) is a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David depicting the artist's friend and murdered French revolutionary leader, Jean-Paul Marat.[1] One of the most famous images from the era of the French Revolution, it was painted when David was the leading French Neoclassical painter, a Montagnard, and a member of the revolutionary Committee of General Security. Created in the months after Marat's death, the painting shows Marat lying dead in his bath after his assassination by Charlotte Corday on 13 July 1793.[2]
In 2001, art historian T. J. Clark called David's painting the first modernist work for "the way it took the stuff of politics as its material, and did not transmute it".[3]
The painting is in the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium. A replica, created by the artist's studio, is on display at the Louvre.[4]
