The wikipedia catalogue of Munch's paintings, almost 1800 in total, lists no fewer than 50 works with the word 'sun" in them, and a full TEN of his paintings are just called The Sun (or Solen, if you want to stick with the original Norwegian, which I assume Munch himself did?)

The dates of the paintings help keep them straight... somewhat. Sadly, I couldn't find any of the three versions of The Sun (1910-1913) online.

The Sun (1910)

The Sun (1910-1911) This is the second photo in the above posts! It's 14.6ft high, and 25.4ft wide, and lives in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Noway (accession number MM.M.00963)

The Sun (1911) This is the first photo of this post! It lives in Hall of Ceremonies at the University of Oslo. It's 14.7ft tall and 25.7ft wide. (accession number UiO.K.01399)

The Sun (1912)

The Sun (1912-1913) This one also lives at the Munch Museum in Oslo, but I can't find it's measurements (perhaps understandably, it's not so easy to be clear on which is which.)
