It is said that this work was originally called "The Scream of Nature ."
Munch himself in 1892, described the feeling has arisen at a time like this:

« I was walking along a path with two friends - the sun was setting - suddenly the sky turned blood red , I paused , feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence - I looked at the blood and tongues of fire above the blue- black fjord and the city - my friends walked on, and I stood there , trembling with emotion , feeling an endless scream piercing nature . »

It is known that at the end of 1883 the sky over Europe at the time of sunset colored red due to the effects of emission of ash during the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa in Indonesia.
