Discover the masterpiece of Expressionism art

Edvard Munch's Melancholy is a powerful and evocative painting that embodies the essence of Expressionism, a modernist movement characterized by its emphasis on emotional experience and subjective interpretation. Painted in 1894, this masterpiece is part of a series that Munch worked on after his friend Jappe Nilssen encountered a heartbreak after getting tangled in a love triangle with Oda Krohg, a married woman.

Melancholy depicts a man with his head resting in his hand, sitting alone on the shores of Asgardstrand. The undulating lines, subdued colours and flat shapes that characterize this painting convey a sense of despair and anxiety. Munch's use of symbolism and simplified forms impart a highly charged emotional quality to the work, making it a quintessential example of Expressionism.

The legacy of Edvard Munch
