The Dead Lovers (Double Suicide) by Edvard Munch, 1991

Edvard Munch brings his signature angst to this haunting scene of two lovers who have apparently taken their own lives together. The woman's arm hangs limp over the bed's edge, dripping a dark pool of blood, while the man lies still beside her in a sketch of scratchy, nervous lines. It's a stark reminder that for the artist behind 'The Scream,' love and death were always dancing a very dark tango.
