"Jealousy"

Edvard Munch (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 48 x 58 cm - 1895 - Symbolism (i)
Edvard Munch's Jealousy, created in 1895, is a seminal work within the Expressionism movement. This painting is executed with oil on canvas and measures 48 x 58 cm. It is a narrative-based piece that tells the story of a love triangle involving Munch himself, Strindberg, one of his colleagues, and Dagny, the woman both men were competing for.
Symbolism and Artistic Collaboration
Strindberg was a Swedish refugee whom Munch met in 1892. The two became close friends due to their mutual love of painting and intellectually collaborated on various subjects. Both artists were jealous of each other's talent and affiliations with Dagny, leading them to collaborate on the theme of jealousy.
Stylistic Elements
In Jealousy, Munch painted Dagny under an Edenesque tree wearing a red robe. The bright red color signifies the soiling of purity and sin, while her nakedness under the robe exposes the bare truth beneath her lies. Munch also depicted himself with Dagny under the tree, and in the foreground, he painted Staczu Prybyszewski, Dagny's former husband, twisted in jealousy.
Thematic Significance
The painting showcases betrayal in both its details and the story behind it. Munch portrayed Dagny under a symbol for the Garden of Eden, referencing the betrayal of Adam and Eve towards God. The discomfort on her former lover's face highlights the hurt caused by betrayal.
Artistic Movement
Jealousy is part of the Symbolism art movement, which sought to represent absolute truths symbolically through language and metaphorical images. This movement emerged as a reaction against naturalism and realism, dominant at the time.
Recurring Themes in Munch's Work
Munch returned to this image throughout his life, completing no less than 11 painted versions of Jealousy. His personal struggles with anxiety, alienation, love, jealousy, and death were recurring themes in his work.

Painting Information : Jealousy made in 1895 by Edvard Munch is a narrative based painting that tells the story about a love triangle involving Munch, as himself; Strindberg, one of Munch’s colleagues; and Dagny, the woman both of them were competing for. Strindberg was a Swedish refugee that Munch met in 1892 and the two became very close friends due to their mutual love of painting. The two intellectually collaborated and shared different insights on how they painted different subjects. Both were jealous of each other not only for their talent in painting but also with their affiliations with Dagny. They then decided to collaborate and paint the same theme which was appropriately, jealousy (Prideaux,141). Stylistically, this painting does show jealousy and betrayal in its purest form. Munch painted the woman Dagny under the Edenesque tree wearing a red robe. The bright red color on her robe signifies the soiling of purity and sin; the ability to see her nakedness under her robe shows the exposure of the bare truth under her lies. Munch also paints himself with Dagny under the tree and in the foreground he has painted Staczu Prybyszewski, Dagny’s former husband, twisted in jealousy (Prideaux, 147). Thematically, this painting does show betrayal in not only the details of the painting but also the story behind it. Munch portrays Dagny under what is a symbol for the garden of Eden which shows a reference to the betrayal of Adam and Eve towards God. Also the discomfort in her former lovers face shows the hurt that betrayal can cause. Image Information : The painting is a portrait of three people in a forest setting. The main focus is on the man with a beard who appears to be looking at the viewer. There are two other figures in the scene, one standing behind him and another further back. In addition to the people, there are several apples scattered throughout the painting, possibly representing fruit or symbolizing something else. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somewhat mysterious and intriguing.
