Jealousy 1895

Edvard Munch's "Jealousy" (1895) is a striking example of his expressive style, often categorized as Symbolism or Expressionism. This painting captures the intense emotional turmoil of a jealous man, depicted in the foreground with a dark, brooding expression. In the background, a woman in a crimson dress and a man are obscured by foliage, hinting at the source of his jealousy. The painting's dramatic use of color and bold brushstrokes contribute to the unsettling atmosphere, emphasizing the psychological torment of the subject. The work is held in the Rasmus Meyer Collection in Bergen, Norway, and is a significant piece in the study of Munch's artistic development.
