"Melancholy" is an oil painting by the French artist Louis Jean François Lagrenée, also known as Lagrenée the Elder, to distinguish him from his younger brother Jean-Jacques Lagrenée. Created in 1780, the painting is a quintessential example of the Rococo style, which was characterized by soft colors, graceful figures, and a light, decorative approach to serious subjects.

The artwork depicts a solitary female figure, personifying melancholy, in a contemplative pose. She is often shown with her chin resting on her hand, surrounded by attributes that may include a globe, books, or other symbols reflective of introspection and the transience of knowledge and power. The mood of the painting is one of quiet reflection, with a subdued palette that reinforces the theme of melancholy.

Louis Lagrenée was a prominent artist of his time, known for his history paintings, religious scenes, and allegorical works. He was a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and was appointed the director of the French Academy in Rome in 1781. "Melancholy" is considered one of his significant works and contributes to our understanding of 18th-century French art and the representation of emotions during the Rococo period.

The painting is an important part of Lagrenée's oeuvre and has been studied for its artistic and historical significance. It reflects the era's fascination with sentiment and the exploration of the human psyche through art. "Melancholy" by Louis Lagrenée remains a valuable piece for art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the cultural and aesthetic movements of pre-revolutionary France.
