"Melancholy" (Norwegian: "Melankoli") is an artwork by the Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch, created in 1894-1895. The painting is part of a series that explores complex human emotions, a theme that Munch revisited throughout his career. This particular piece is often associated with Munch's own psychological struggles and is considered a precursor to his most famous work, "The Scream."

The painting depicts a man sitting on the shore, his head resting in his hand in a pose reminiscent of the "thinker" motif, suggesting deep contemplation or sorrow. The figure is believed to be August Strindberg, a Swedish playwright and novelist whom Munch admired. The background features a subdued palette and a tranquil seascape, which contrasts with the figure's introspective anguish.

"Melancholy" was part of Munch's "Frieze of Life" series, a cycle of works that delved into themes of love, anxiety, infidelity, and existential dread. The series reflects Munch's interest in depicting the psychological aspects of human experience, an approach that was innovative at the time and contributed to the development of Expressionism.

The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis. It is considered an important work in Munch's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's inner world and the cultural milieu of late 19th-century Europe. "Melancholy" continues to resonate with audiences for its evocative portrayal of universal human emotions.
