Description of Edvard Munch’s painting Jealousy

One of the most inexplicable feelings is jealousy, which brings only negativity and negative qualities. This feeling affects not only the relationship between people, but also the environment. It is these feelings that the gifted artist Munch is trying to explain and show, seeking to get to the truth through philosophy. The painting depicts an entire composition, which is an incredible combination of color palette. Despite the presence of scenes and composition, it is the main character of the painting, maddened by destructive feelings, that attracts attention. It is the devastation, destruction and negative message that the artist is trying to show in his painting, which has become truly famous.

The picture is diluted with other characters, who give liveliness and variety to the painting, only it is not clear whether the heroes actually exist or are a figment of the jealous man’s imagination. The presence of an incomprehensible scene, behind which may not be what the jealous man represents, makes one think a lot. Indeed, the couple depicted in the background shows ambiguity, and may be misinterpreting reality. The palettes and colors used help to focus on the subject of the painting and not be distracted by insignificant details.

The painting has a deep philosophical and hidden meaning that makes everyone think about the power of jealousy and its detrimental influence. And the unusual combination of colors, creates a sense of magical penetration into the picture to find answers to questions of interest.
