“When people breathe they produce moisture and they exude chlorides so in general with paintings it is not too good to be close too much to the breath of all the passersby,” Prof. Koen Janssens from the University of Antwerp told“I don’t think it was an intentional use. I think he just bought a not very high level of paint. This is 1910 and at that point the chemical industry producing the chemical pigments is there but it doesn’t mean they have the quality control of today,” he added.
These new findings will be incorporated into the display of “The Scream” at the Munch Museum, whose new location by Oslo’s opera house will open to the public later this year. While scientists hope that changing the circumstances in which the masterpiece is exhibited will slow down its degradation, “The Scream” still bears a possibly irreversible brown water mark in its lower left corner.
This damage was caused after the painting was stolen along with Munch’s “Madonna” masterpiece by two masked gunmen in a daytime raid on Aug. 22, 2004. The two paintings were recovered in a police operation in 2006. Last March, the Munch Museum invited Norwegian poet Fredrik Høyer and Norwegian musician Bendik Baksaas for a new musical interpretation of “The Scream”.
