"The Sick Child" (Norwegian: "Det syke barn") is a poignant painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created between 1885 and 1886. This artwork marks a significant departure from the more traditional styles of painting that dominated the 19th century, as Munch began to express deeper psychological and emotional themes through his work. The painting is a deeply personal reflection of grief, depicting the artist's own sister, Johanne Sophie, on her deathbed suffering from tuberculosis, which she succumbed to at the age of 15.

Measuring 119.5 cm × 118.5 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas and is renowned for its expressive brushwork and muted color palette, which convey the somber mood and the frailty of life. Munch's use of color, light, and texture in "The Sick Child" is often seen as a precursor to his later work and the Expressionist movement, which sought to depict subjective emotions rather than objective reality.

The painting caused a scandal when first exhibited due to its radical departure from the polished finish expected of academic paintings at the time. Critics were particularly taken aback by the rough, almost unfinished appearance of the work, which was a deliberate choice by Munch to evoke the raw emotion of the scene. Despite the initial controversy, "The Sick Child" has since been recognized as a masterpiece that broke new ground in its exploration of human suffering and the bonds of family.

"The Sick Child" remains one of Munch's most significant and moving works, encapsulating themes of loss, death, and the pain of letting go. The painting is not only a testament to Munch's personal tragedy but also a universal representation of the human experience of grief. It is currently housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its emotional depth and innovative artistic techniques.
