Melancholy. Weeping Woman on the Beach 1906

Edvard Munch's "Melancholy. Weeping Woman on the Beach" (1906) is a striking example of the artist's signature Expressionist style. The painting depicts a solitary woman in a red dress, slumped against a rocky shore, her head bowed in sorrow. The bold brushstrokes and swirling lines create a sense of emotional turmoil and psychological depth. Munch, known for his exploration of themes of anxiety and alienation, masterfully captures the despair of the woman, contrasting her isolation with the vast and turbulent blue sea behind her. The painting's evocative colors and expressive forms contribute to its enduring power and emotional resonance.
