Smoking kills. 💀🚬

There’s provocative, and then there’s Van Gogh with a cigarette-smoking skeleton. A rare fusion of rebellious humour and academic rigour, Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette’ makes its bold return—not on canvas, but as an exquisitely printed art print that’s every bit as arresting as the original.

Painted during Van Gogh’s stint at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, this skeletal figure wasn't exactly part of the syllabus. While anatomy studies were standard, painting skeletons, especially ones puffing away like Parisian poets, wasn’t on the curriculum. The result? A darkly comic, slightly rebellious work that hinted at Van Gogh’s wit and unorthodox genius.

More than a morbid joke, it showcases his early mastery of form, shadow and composition. With the cigarette perched cheekily between the bony lips, it’s equal parts existential and irreverent. In short: the perfect conversation starter.
