"Melancholy" c. 1620 is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Fetti, also known as Domenico Feti. Fetti, who was born in Rome and later worked in Mantua and Venice, was renowned for his dynamic compositions and the psychological depth he brought to his subjects. This painting is a striking example of his work, depicting the personification of melancholy, a theme with a rich tradition in art history, dating back to Albrecht Dürer's iconic engraving "Melencolia I."

The painting measures approximately 143 by 113 centimeters and is part of a series of canvases representing the four temperaments or humors, which were believed in ancient and medieval physiology to determine human behavior and emotion. "Melancholy" represents the melancholic temperament, traditionally associated with artists, scholars, and thinkers, characterized by introspection and a pensive mood.

In "Melancholy," Fetti masterfully captures the essence of this temperament. The central figure is often interpreted as a brooding intellectual or artist, surrounded by symbolic objects that allude to creativity and contemplation. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the figure's introspective state and the overall somber mood of the piece.

The painting is a significant work in Fetti's oeuvre and is appreciated for its emotional resonance and its place within the broader context of Baroque art. It is currently housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
