Of course
You could climb for the apples of a tree
Consumed by fire in 1663
After
The long, long dive from pink Aegean clouds
Ingenious plumage falling around
But
You should run with a scream at these answers
Across that bridge rudely smeared on canvas
Until
Inhabiting the paralysed spider
A businesslike wasp has stung for her larder
You
At last see by your own light the cloaked wound
Rumoured to account for our modern mood

The third couplet is clearly Munch. Munch did create a number of pieces depicting apple trees. But I am stumped (no pun intended). It is a lovely vexing working. Pray reveal the other paintings.

Adam W. - You make the reader work hard for their reward. But it's never nonsense.
Go well

I am guessing wildly here that this an amalgam of various works of art or is it one piece that you are referencing here. Either way love the poem
Nice one

But surely the scream and the bridge, "rudely smeared" cinch the Munch reference...
