The dreadful painting (おそるべきめいが osorubeki meiga?) is a painting in Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+. In Doubutsu no Mori+, it is only available through the Data Moving Service, and it does not appear in the catalog. It is based on Edvard Munch's The Scream.
Although not confirmed by Nintendo, the reason for the dreadful painting's removal after Doubutsu no Mori+ may have been due to the painting's copyright status. Under Japanese copyright law at the time, works were under copyright for 50 years after the author's death; since Munch died in 1944, The Scream entered the public domain in Japan in 1995, six years before the release of Doubutsu no Mori.[nb 1] However, in the United States, where copyright lasts for 70 years after the author's death, The Scream was still under copyright as of the North American release of Animal Crossing in 2002 and did not enter the public domain until 2015. This was also the case for the novel painting, whose author also died in 1944.

Real-world information[edit]
The dreadful painting is based on The Scream by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Munch recalled that he had been out for a walk at sunset when suddenly the setting sunlight turned the clouds "a blood red." He sensed an "infinite scream passing through nature." Scholars have located the spot to a fjord overlooking Oslo, and have suggested other explanations for the unnaturally orange sky, ranging from the effects of a volcanic eruption to a psychological reaction by Munch to his sister's commitment at a nearby lunatic asylum.
