About the Painting:

"Jealousy" is a powerful exploration of one of humanity's most consuming emotions.
This painting centers on a man with a striking green-tinged face and fiery beard, whose wide, haunting eyes stare directly at the viewer, radiating profound suspicion and possessiveness.

Behind him, a woman in white and another man are partially visible, suggesting a clandestine encounter or an imagined betrayal.
The woman's face, often depicted with a flushed or uneasy appearance in different versions, hints at her conflicted position.

Munch frequently used personal experiences as inspiration, and this work is often linked to his tumultuous relationship with Tulla Larsen.
The distorted features and intense colors powerfully convey the psychological torment of jealousy, transforming an internal state into a visceral, externalized expression.
It's a stark portrayal of obsession and the corrosive nature of this powerful emotion.
