Vincent van Gogh’s Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette (1886) – Dark Humor and Artistic Rebellion Print

Vincent van Gogh’s Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette (1886) is one of his most striking and unexpected works — a rare glimpse of the artist’s dark humor and rebellious spirit. Painted while he was a student in Antwerp, this edgy, almost punk-like image was likely a tongue-in-cheek jab at the rigid art school tradition of studying anatomy. More than just a skeleton, it hints at Van Gogh’s bold, questioning nature and his fascination with life, death, and the absurd. This piece is perfect for those who appreciate art with an irreverent, unforgettable edge.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Printed on heavy 60lb matte photo paper with a soft white finish, this piece offers exceptional detail and ink vibrancy. The acid-free surface ensures longevity, while the 10 mil thickness gives it a luxurious feel worthy of fine art.
