Madonna ☴ Munch ☱ Canvas Add a Float Frame:Espresso Hopper described the scene asMadonna (1894) by Edvard Munch depicts a nude female figure, interpreted as a possible representation of the Virgin Mary, though he is not known for religious artwork. Munch created two other versions and a lithograph, and used both Loving Woman and Madonna as titles. The model was Norwegian writer Dagny Juel Przybyszewska, and is seen as an expression of his worship of her beauty, portraying her as an ideal of womanhood.
