Edvard Munch painted a massive frieze for a chocolate factory

Edvard Munch is widely remembered as the isolated, anxious painter of The Scream, but he spent much of his later career attempting to bring art to the masses. In 1922, the director of the Freia Chocolate Factory in Oslo invited Munch to decorate the company's women's canteen. Munch accepted the commission and produced a series of twelve monumental paintings in just two months, focusing on themes of coastal life and human connection.
