Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette - Vincent Van Gogh
In this work by Vincent Van Gogh, we can recognize the tormented aspect of the artist's personality. However, it is rare to see him deal directly with the theme of death. On a blind and dark background, a skeleton with ashen bones stands out, a cigarette stuck between the mandibles. The resolutely modern touch and the strong chiaroscuro reinforce the magnanimity of this skull.
