Love and Pain. (2023, June 24). in WikipediA
Edvard Munch originally titled this 1895 painting "Love and Pain." Munch himself always claimed it was "just a woman kissing a man on the neck." The story goes that Munch's friend, the Polish poet and critic named Stanislaw Przybyszewski was the first to call the painting "Vampire." Both names have followed the painting to this day.
