Melancholy is a 1897 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts a somber scene with a man sitting on a beach, his head resting on his hand. He is dressed in dark attire and appears lost in thought. The beach is empty, with a boat floating in the water in the distance. The sky above is cloudy and gray, adding to the melancholic atmosphere. The artist's use of muted colors and bold brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and emotion in the painting. The man's pose and expression convey a sense of sadness and introspection.
