Van Gogh’s skull painting is a unique piece for this artist, as it uses minimal color to illustrate his vision. While most people who are familiar with Van Gogh expect to see vibrant blues and yellows that bring landscapes, people, and flowers to life, this painting is a subdued depiction of the skull of a skeleton with a burning cigarette.
The story behind Van Gogh’s Skeleton Smoking is a lighthearted one. The artist had to show his grasp of basic anatomy while in art school and chose to add a cigarette in the skeleton’s mouth as a juvenile prank. Get inside the mind of a master artist when you purchase this paint by numbers today!
