Filled with dismay, sadness and awe, The Scream is a painting made by Norwegian painter Edvard Munch in 1893. Initially, it has four versions, one painted and other three pastels. Aside from its artistic and emotional value, its value in money is also very high. In 2012, the forth pastel version was sold for record-breaking $ 119,922,600 in an auction. And that’s the reason many art-thefts are interested in the painting. Different versions have been stolen in the past, but now all of them are recovered unharmed. There is also a Norwegian postal stamp representing the painting. Pointing to its fame in general culture, there are some TV series and books which include the painting in their stories.
