"Mad Woman with a Mania of Envy" is an artwork by the influential French painter Théodore Géricault, renowned for his pivotal role in the Romantic movement. Created in the early 19th century, this painting is part of a series of portraits that depict patients with various psychological disorders. Géricault's interest in the human psyche and the conditions of the mentally ill was innovative for his time, reflecting a broader Romantic fascination with emotion and the darker aspects of the human experience.

The painting captures the intense expression and psychological state of a woman believed to be suffering from what was then termed "monomania," a form of partial insanity characterized by an obsession or exaggerated emotion. In this case, the subject is identified as having a mania of envy. Géricault's masterful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey raw emotion through the woman's gaze and posture contribute to the haunting quality of the work. The series to which this painting belongs was commissioned by Dr. Étienne-Jean Georget, a leading French psychiatrist of the time, who sought to document the physiognomy of the mentally ill for clinical study.

"Mad Woman with a Mania of Envy" is not only a testament to Géricault's artistic skill but also an early intersection of art and science, particularly the study of mental health. The painting is a poignant example of how art can provide insights into societal attitudes towards mental illness during the early 19th century. It remains an important work for both its artistic merit and its historical significance in the evolving understanding of psychology.
