Despair ☵ Munch ☳ Canvas Add a Float Frame:No This version shows windmills inDespair (1894) by Edvard Munch is one of several works of similar composition depicting the Oslo fjord, the most famous of which being The Scream.

Despair, Anxiety, and The Scream are only a few of Munch's many depictions of that
