Love and Pain is an 1895 painting by Edvard Munch; it has also been called Vampire, though not by Munch.[1] The painting depicts a man and woman embracing, with the woman kissing the man on his neck. Munch painted six different versions of the same subject between 1893 and 1895. Three versions are in the collection of the Munch Museum in Oslo, one is held by the Gothenburg Museum of Art, one is owned by a private collector, and the final work is unaccounted for.[2] Munch painted several additional versions and derivatives of the work later in his career.[2]
