"The Sick Child I" (Norwegian: "Det syke barn") is a renowned painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1885-1886. This artwork marks a significant departure from the artist's earlier style and is often considered a pivotal piece in his career, representing a transition to a more expressive and emotionally charged form of painting that would later define his oeuvre and contribute to the Expressionist movement.

The painting is a deeply personal reflection of Munch's own life, as it draws upon the traumatic memory of his sister Johanne Sophie's death from tuberculosis when Munch was just 14 years old. The subject matter is rendered with an intensity of feeling that was unusual for the time, capturing the pain of loss and the helplessness experienced in the face of illness and death.

Measuring 119.5 cm × 118.5 cm, "The Sick Child I" is characterized by its somber palette, loose brushwork, and the haunting gaze of the sick child, which conveys a profound sense of suffering and vulnerability. The work's emotional depth is heightened by the contrast between the child's pallid face and the dark, undefined background, as well as the presence of a grieving figure seated at the bedside, presumed to be the child's mother.

Munch revisited this deeply personal theme several times throughout his career, creating a series of six painted versions and numerous prints and lithographs. "The Sick Child I" is not only a testament to Munch's innovative approach to color and form but also a poignant expression of the universal themes of grief and loss. The painting is considered one of Munch's masterpieces and a seminal work in the canon of modern art.

Today, "The Sick Child I" is held in the collection of the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its emotional resonance and its role in the development of Expressionism.
