Mellankolli III (also known as Melancholy III) is one of several versions Edvard Munch created around the theme of melancholy, which he explored deeply throughout the 1890s. This particular version is a woodcut print made in 1902, part of his exploration of emotional isolation and inner turmoil.
In Melancholy III, a solitary man sits by the shore, his head resting on his hand, gazing downward in deep reflection. The background features stylized waves and a couple walking in the distance, emphasizing his separation from the world. The use of sharp lines and contrasting black and white tones enhances the sense of emotional tension.
This work is a great example of Munch’s ability to translate psychological states into powerful visual symbolism, and it reflects his broader interest in themes like anxiety, love, and alienation.
