A man with a green face and red beard stares out at us in the foreground; behind him a woman in a white dress with a dark belt, her face flushed red and her hair loose, stands beside a second man with lowered eyes, against a green wall smudged with red and blue. Munch first treated jealousy in the 1890s and painted it at least eleven times. This version, unsigned and dated to 1907 with a query, is thought to belong to the series he painted that year in Warnemünde, known as The Green Room for its green walls. It is in the Munch Museum, Oslo.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Acid green, red and white make a tense, psychological picture for a study, office or hallway rather than a bedroom. Pair it with Van Gogh's The Night Café, another clash of red and green, at 24×18 in a black frame.
