"Vampire I" is an 1895 painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, renowned for his evocative treatment of psychological themes and his pioneering expressionist style. The artwork is part of Munch's "Love and Pain" series, which later became more famously known as the "Vampire" series. This series of paintings, which includes several versions created in various media, explores the complex emotions of love, jealousy, and despair through a symbolic representation of a woman with long red hair kissing or biting a man's neck.

The title "Vampire" was not given by Munch himself but was attributed to the painting by his friend, the critic Stanisław Przybyszewski, who perceived a vampiric connotation in the intimate yet seemingly predatory embrace. Munch's original title, "Love and Pain," reflects a more nuanced interpretation of the scene as an expression of the duality of human relationships and the intertwining of pleasure and suffering.

The painting features a stark contrast between the figures and the dark background, with the use of bold colors and fluid lines that contribute to the emotional intensity of the scene. The woman's red hair envelops the man, creating a sense of entrapment and further emphasizing the theme of emotional entanglement.

"Vampire I" is often interpreted in the context of Munch's own turbulent personal life and his preoccupation with themes of love, anxiety, and mortality. The painting is a seminal work in Munch's oeuvre and is considered a precursor to the Expressionist movement that would emerge in the early 20th century. It remains an iconic piece of Symbolist art, reflecting the fin-de-siècle fascination with the darker aspects of the human psyche and the exploration of themes beyond the visible reality.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "Vampire I" is held in a private collection, and its influence continues to be felt in contemporary art and popular culture, where the image of the vampire has become a lasting symbol of the seductive and destructive forces of love.
