"Das kranke Kind I" (The Sick Child I) is a seminal artwork by the Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch, created in 1885-1886. This painting is one of Munch's most poignant and personal works, marking a significant departure from the realism of his earlier pieces towards a more expressive style that would come to define his oeuvre. The painting is the first in a series of six versions that Munch would create over a period of 40 years, each revisiting the traumatic memory of his sister Johanne Sophie's death from tuberculosis at the age of 15, when Munch himself was just 14.

Measuring 119.5 cm × 118.5 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by its somber palette and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures and brushwork. The scene depicts Munch's sister on her deathbed, with a grieving woman—believed to be her aunt—sitting beside her. The figures are rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes that emphasize the emotional turmoil rather than the physical details of the scene.

The painting's significance lies not only in its emotional depth but also in its innovative approach to color and form, which broke away from the conventions of the time. Munch's use of color and abstracted forms to convey psychological states was groundbreaking and would influence the development of Expressionism in the early 20th century. "Das kranke Kind I" is considered a precursor to Munch's most famous work, "The Scream," and is often interpreted as a meditation on life, death, and the human condition.

The original version of "Das kranke Kind I" is housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and remains a key work for understanding Munch's artistic development and the themes that would recur throughout his career. The painting has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is frequently included in discussions of Munch's impact on modern art.
