About the Artist

Vincent van Gogh, one of the most influential figures in Western art, is remembered for his bold colors, expressive brushwork, and emotional intensity. Though his career lasted just over a decade, he created more than 2,000 works that shaped the path of modern art.

About This Artwork

Painted around 1886 while van Gogh was studying in Antwerp, this small canvas is both humorous and unsettling. Featuring a skeleton casually smoking, it was likely a satirical exercise during his anatomy classes, poking fun at traditional academic studies of the human form. Yet beneath its irony, the work reflects themes of mortality, fragility, and the fleeting nature of life — ideas that run throughout van Gogh’s art.

Why We Selected It

This painting embodies van Gogh’s wit and his willingness to challenge convention. Hanging it in your space is more than a statement of style; it’s a bold reminder of life’s impermanence and the restless creativity of one of history’s greatest artists.
