A man had a giggle when he noticed his tomato soup lunch resembled the shape of the Edvard Munch painting The Scream.
Matthew Richardson, 45, said the lumps in the still-cold cream of tomato soup looked like the ghost-like face with hands raised to his ears.
The colour and pattern of the Happy-Shopper soup in the photograph is also like the swirly sunset in Edvard Munch’s painting.
Matthew quickly snapped a photo of the soup before the pattern changed, before tucking in for his supper before working the night shift on Sunday (9).

Glass worker Matthew, from Leeds, said: “It made me laugh. I had a bit of a mad dash to get a picture before it changed.
“I’m very familiar with that picture and it looked just like it to me.
“I saw the resemblance to the famous painting ‘The Scream’ straight after I poured the soup out of the can.
“The soup was uncooked so it was a bit lumpy and the lumpiness looked like the hands by the faces in the painting.”
‘The Scream’ is the popular name for a picture by expressionist artist Edvard Munch. Painted in 1893, the full German name translates as ‘The Scream of Nature’.
