Norwegian Museum Solves the Mystery of a Famous Modern Painting
Norway's National Museum says a sentence written on Edvard Munch's 1893 painting "The Scream" was put there by the Norwegian painter himself.
The famous painting shows a figure holding its head in its hands with its mouth wide open. The art work has become an internationally recognized symbol for the expression of human fear and concern.
The sentence written on the painting says, "can only have been painted by a madman." It was written with a pencil in the top left-hand area of the painting.
The painting is being prepared to be shown at the new National Museum of Norway, which will open in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, in 2022. The painting has been the subject of a lot of careful research.
In a recent statement, Mai Britt Guleng, head of the National Museum, said, "The writing is without a doubt Munch's own." Guleng added the writing was compared to the painter's writing in letters. "The handwriting itself, as well as events that happened in 1895, when Munch showed the painting in Norway for the first time, all point in the same direction," Guleng explained.
The writing was added after Munch had completed the painting. But for years it has been a mystery, the museum said in a statement.
Guleng said the writing was likely done "in 1895, when Munch exhibited the painting for the first time." Exhibit means to make something, such as a painting or photograph, available for people to see.
At the time of its first showing, the painting caused many people to wonder about Munch's mental state. During a discussion night when the artist was present, a young medical student questioned Munch's mental health and claimed his work proved he was not sound.
"It is likely that Munch added the inscription in 1895, or shortly after, in response to the judgment on his work," the statement read.
Munch was hurt by the accusations. He wrote about them many times in his letters. Both Munch's father and sister suffered from mental issues.
Munch was put into a hospital after a nervous breakdown in 1908. A nervous breakdown is an inability to live normally in daily life because of extremely strong feelings of worry or tension.
The National Gallery was temporarily closed in 2019 to secure a safe moving process to the new National Museum. The museum will show 400,000 objects, from ancient times to the present day. It will have paintings, statues, drawings and many other art objects.

挪威博物馆揭开名作《呐喊》之谜
挪威国家博物馆称，爱德华·蒙克（Edvard Munch）1893年的画作《呐喊》上的一句话是他自己写上的。
这幅名画描绘了一个人双手托着头，张大嘴巴。这一艺术作品已经成为国际公认的表达人类恐惧和担忧的象征。
作品上写着:“只可能是一个疯子画的。”这是用铅笔在画作左上角写下的。
这幅作品正准备在新落成的挪威国家博物馆展出，该博物馆将于2022年在挪威首都奥斯陆开放。这幅画一直是众多被细致研究的对象。
在最近的一份声明中，挪威国家博物馆馆长麦·布里特·古朗(Mai Britt Guleng)表示，“毫无疑问，这些文字是蒙克自己填上的。”古朗补充说，这些字迹可以看作是这位画家在信中的留言。古朗解释称“这幅画上的字迹，以及蒙克1895年在挪威首次展出这幅画时发生的事情，都指向同一个方向。”
这些文字是在蒙克完成这幅作品之后加上的。但该博物馆在一份声明中表示，多年来这一直是个谜。
古朗指出，这些字迹很可能是“1895年蒙克首次展出这幅画的时候”写下的。“展览（Exhibit）”指的是制作一些作品，如绘画或照片，供人们欣赏。
在第一次展出时，这幅画导致许多人怀疑蒙克的精神状态。在艺术家在场的一个讨论之夜，一名年轻的医科学生质疑蒙克的精神健康状况，并声称他的作品证明他有问题。
声明中写道:“蒙克很可能是在1895年，或者之后不久，以这寥寥数语回应对其作品的评判。”
这些指控伤害了蒙克。他在信中多次提到这些指控。蒙克的父亲和妹妹都有精神方面的疾病。
1908年，蒙克因精神崩溃被送进了医院。神经崩溃是指由于极度焦虑或紧张而无法正常地进行日常生活。
这家国家美术馆于2019年暂时关闭，以确保藏品安全转移至新的国家博物馆。博物馆将展出从古代到现代的40万件藏品。其中将包括绘画、雕像、素描和许多其他艺术品。
