This picture is one of those that completes the Munch period in Paris. A stay in the then capital of the artistic world was not a gift for the artist.
Around this time, he wrote in his diary: “The camera cannot compete with brush and canvas, as long as they can be used in heaven and hell.”
“Melancholia” – among other works – was shown at the scandalous Berlin exhibition of 1892, a strong-willed act closed by the Kaiser.
