This symbolic oil painting majorly represents the sorrowful years of Edvard Munch. Edvard completed it in the year 1900 when he was in a sanatorium in Copenhagen – he indicated these details in the upper right corner of this painting.
Golgotha symbolises the crucifixion of Christ, so it is viewed as a religious theme. But there are several subjective elements found in this art, and Christ's face itself is portrayed as Munch. The painter is the central character leaving his life without freeing his inner demons and without marriage. The persons around aren’t looking at his face; instead, they look at Edvard's feet, other than for one individual who seems to be praying for him. The person praying for him could be his lover Tulla Larsen, who really cared for Edvard. Unluckily, it is the talented painter who couldn't get out of his many issues, thereby leaving her. The year 1900 was so heart-breaking for Munch as he was unable to quit drinking. As a result, Tulla left him and got married to Edvard's younger colleague. This is one of the periods the painter suffered big time, and Golgotha and several works represented his feelings towards Tulla and the emotional agony he suffered. |

Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944) was a Norwegian painter who played a great role in late 19th-century Symbolism.
The paintings he made focused on the internal view of the objects, as he believed that art should reflect an emotion or idea rather than represent the natural world in the objective. Munch explored the themes of love, fear, death, melancholia and anxiety via his paintings.
