His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. 

Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today’s Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological states, from this emerged his distinctive style.
