Melancholy by Edvard Munch [1892] & Melancholia by Richard Rossbach

"Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness." [Italo Calvino]

This is just a simple share reflecting on 'Melancholy' an emotion and word very dear and close to my heart. It seemed so simply natural to enTWINe it with Edvard Munch's artwork of that oh so soulful theme and title.

The link takes you to Richard Rossbach's site which can be translated from his native tongue : )) The track is from the CD compilation ''Moments of Harmony 2''.

@BarryLyndon63 Thanks : ) I put into place your advice and allowed things to happen naturally and kept it simple. Even I liked it... is that allowed??

Big smile for you and yours... and one for a special star shing here and above on her Islands...

@MrJoncando My happiest memories are wrapped up in melancholy!!; D

That is true though... being happy is just being at peace? People strive too hard for things that just are not that important. Thanks for such a nice comment... and yes I liked Amalia's 'Twelth Night' immediately and expressed so... but my shady 'spammer' spammed my comment within seconds!!! haha... it made me smile too : ))) I wish 'it' peace... have a nice evening and Sunday... my tribe is expected as usual.

Music and painting are one... very well done !

I am smiling ... Edvard Munch's artwork is shown in the Kunsthalle Bremen till February... a friend gave me call on Tuesday ... we are going there next weekend.

@jafuso61 You are lucky to be living where I used to : (( Do you wanna swap??? My boys will like you : )))

Yes... the music and painting came into my head whilst I was listening to Barbara Streisand!! ??? but that is another story. Imelda is next week so we both have a date : )

[haha... you'll work out this comment... I'm a little dizzy today...and had the wrong head on!!; D ]

Thanks for you comment... I hoped you would like xxxx

Feels so lively and yet no movement ,,most of the things people search for kill for etc ,,can easily be found in music and art ,,

I did not realize this was your channel ... This video is very poetic, slow, sad ... You have chosen the most appropriate artist:: Edvard Munch and the music takes us gently! Congratulations Christine! Alice
