Self-Portrait with the Spanish Flu (1919) by Edvard Munch
The painting depicts Munch’s own face, which is gaunt and pale. His eyes are sunken and his lips are chapped. It is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of health. Munch himself was a survivor of the Spanish flu, and he created this painting as a way to process his own experience of the illness.
