What could be the background for this tormented face? Munch himself describes an episode when the “ sky suddenly turned bloody red … I felt as though a vast, endless scream passed through nature”. He talked about this to a painter colleague who later wrote “He yearns for the impossible and has despair as his religion … but advised him to paint it – And he painted his peculiar Scream”. In this article we describe an irregular, but often very spectacular cloud phenomenon, called nacreous clouds or mother-of-pearl clouds, occurring after sunset in the stratosphere 18 to 30 km above the earth’s surface near Polar Regions, and how this could have influenced the sensitive mind of a young man. We also find that an earlier hypothesis based on volcanic dust from the Krakatau eruption cannot be valid.Cairn free access
