The Most Renowned Recovered Paintings Ever

2. The Scream

The most famous example of Expressionist art is a composition by Edvard Munch originally entitled Der Schrei der Natur, or as it is commonly referred to, The Scream. Between 1893 and 1910 the Norwegian painter created four versions of a composition using paintings and pastels. Due to its prominence this work, in all of its versions, has been the target of thefts and theft attempts. The latest one occurred in 2004, but luckily every version of The Scream is now safely guarded.
