"Vampyr" is a painting created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893–1894. It is one of Munch's notable works, reflecting his exploration of human emotions and psychological themes. The painting depicts a man and a woman in an intimate yet ambiguous embrace. The woman is shown bending over the man, her red hair cascading down and enveloping him, which has led to interpretations of the scene as both tender and vampiric.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by Munch's distinctive style, which combines expressive brushstrokes and a focus on emotional intensity. The use of color is particularly striking, with the red of the woman’s hair contrasting sharply with the darker tones of the man’s figure and the background. This contrast heightens the emotional tension of the scene.

"Vampyr" is often associated with Munch's broader exploration of themes such as love, anxiety, and death, which are central to his body of work. The painting has been interpreted as a representation of the complexities of human relationships, particularly the interplay of passion and pain. However, Munch himself did not provide a definitive explanation of the painting's meaning, leaving it open to interpretation.

The work was originally titled "Love and Pain" by Munch, but it later became popularly known as "Vampyr," a title that emphasizes the darker, more sinister aspects of the image. This shift in interpretation may have been influenced by the public and critics, rather than the artist's own intentions.

"Vampyr" is part of Munch's "Frieze of Life" series, a collection of works that explore the stages and emotions of human existence. The series includes some of Munch's most famous paintings, such as "The Scream" and "Madonna." Like these works, "Vampyr" reflects Munch's interest in Symbolism and his ability to convey deep psychological states through visual art.

The painting has been reproduced in several versions, as Munch often revisited and reinterpreted his themes. Today, "Vampyr" is held in various collections and continues to be studied and admired for its emotional depth and artistic innovation.
