"Krankes Mädchen" (English: "The Sick Child") is a renowned painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1885-1886. This artwork holds a significant place in Munch's oeuvre as it marks a departure from the more traditional styles of painting towards a more expressive and emotionally charged form that would later define his work and contribute to the Expressionist movement. The painting is a poignant representation of grief and illness, depicting a young girl on her deathbed, with a grieving figure, presumed to be her mother, by her side.

The subject of "The Sick Child" is deeply personal to Munch, as it draws from the traumatic experience of losing his sister Johanne Sophie to tuberculosis in 1877 when Munch was just 14 years old. The work is noted for its use of color, brushwork, and composition to evoke a sense of melancholy and despair. Munch's innovative technique, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a subdued palette, conveys the fragility of life and the pain of loss.

"The Sick Child" was met with critical controversy at the time of its unveiling due to its radical departure from the polished finish expected of academic paintings of the era. However, it has since been recognized as a groundbreaking piece that prefigured Expressionism and has been a subject of extensive art historical research and analysis. The painting is considered one of Munch's masterpieces and remains an important work in the study of late 19th-century art.

Munch revisited this deeply emotional theme several times throughout his career, creating six painted versions and a number of lithographs and drawings, each exploring the motif with varying emotional intensity and stylistic approaches. The original version of "The Sick Child" is housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and stands as a testament to Munch's profound impact on modern art and his exploration of universal themes of life, death, and human emotion.
