About this work

Jacek Malczewski's 1890 painting Melancholia, held by the National Museum in Poznań, shows a tumultuous scene in a bright interior with a red-tressed brick floor. A crowd of men wielding spears and a red banner surges forward while bodies lie sprawled across the floor, and a dark-robed figure looks out through a window at the right.
