"The Sick Child I" is a seminal painting by 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 breakthrough piece that prefigures his later expressionist works. The painting is the first in a series of six versions that Munch would create over the course of his life, each revisiting the traumatic event of his sister Sophie's death from tuberculosis at the age of 15, when Munch himself was just 14.

Measuring 119.5 cm × 118.5 cm, "The Sick Child I" is an oil on canvas that captures the raw emotion and psychological intensity of a moment of grief and loss. The work is characterized by its somber palette, loose brushwork, and the haunting, blurred features of the figures, which convey the pain and despair of the scene. The composition focuses on the pale, listless figure of the sick girl, Sophie, propped up in bed, while a darkly clad woman, presumed to be her aunt, sits beside her in a state of mourning or contemplation.

Munch's personal experience with illness and death, which included not only his sister's demise but also the earlier loss of his mother to the same disease, profoundly influenced his artistic vision. "The Sick Child I" is often interpreted as an expression of Munch's emotional turmoil and a meditation on themes of life, death, and the human condition. The painting's evocative power lies in its ability to connect with viewers on an emotional level, transcending the specifics of Munch's own biography to address universal experiences of suffering and loss.

The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and remains one of Munch's most poignant and celebrated works. "The Sick Child I" is not only a key piece in understanding Munch's early artistic development but also a landmark in the transition to modernist approaches to painting, presaging the emotional intensity and psychological depth that would come to define Expressionism.
