Madness | Gustave Doré | 1883

La Folie (Madness) (1883) by Gustave Doré (1832–1883) depicts a young woman with a single tear falling down her cheek as she gazes sorrowfully at a jester's puppet, a traditional symbol of folly and the fragile boundary between reason and madness. Dramatic lighting and rich textures heighten the emotional intensity, making this haunting final painting a poignant meditation on grief, illusion, and the vulnerability of the human mind.
