"Death in the Sick-Room" is a painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1893. This work is part of Munch's exploration of deeply personal themes of illness, death, and grief, which are recurrent throughout his oeuvre. The painting depicts a somber scene of a family grieving the death of a loved one, believed to be inspired by the death of Munch's own sister, Sophie, from tuberculosis when she was just 15 years old and Munch was 14.

The composition is characterized by its muted palette and the emotional distance between the figures, which conveys a sense of isolation and emotional repression typical of the era's Scandinavian bourgeoisie. The figures are arranged in a way that reflects their individual reactions to the tragedy, with some turned away from the deceased and others facing the viewer, lost in their own sorrow. The stark interior setting serves to focus the viewer's attention on the psychological drama unfolding within the room.

"Death in the Sick-Room" is considered an important work within Munch's "Frieze of Life" series, a thematic collection of paintings in which he delved into the human life cycle, exploring themes of love, anxiety, illness, and mortality. The painting is exemplary of Munch's symbolist approach, where he used evocative imagery to express emotional states and psychological conditions. As with many of Munch's works, this painting prefigures the Expressionist movement, which would come to full fruition in the early 20th century.

The painting is held in high regard for its poignant exploration of human vulnerability and has been widely studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to modern art. It is housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and remains a significant piece for understanding the evolution of Edvard Munch's artistic vision and the broader context of late 19th-century European art.
