Love and Pain is the name of a painting by Edvard Munch, which is also known as Vampire.  Munch painted six different versions of this painting between 1893 and 1895;  Three copies are in the Munch Museum in Oslo, one is in the Gutenberg Art Museum, the other belongs to a private collection, and one painting is missing.
 The painting shows a woman with messy red hair holding a man and kissing him on the neck.  Although some have analyzed the image as a vampire torturing a man.  Munch himself always claimed that this picture showed nothing more than a woman kissing her husband's neck.
 The painting was first called a vampire by Munch's critic friend Stanisław Przybyszewski.  He saw a vampire sucking the man's blood from his neck.
 A copy of this painting was stolen from the Munch Museum on March 23, 1988.  In 2008, an 1894 painting was sold at Sotheby's for $38.2 million (£24.3 million).
