High Resolution (300dpi) - Vincent van Gogh Skull (1887) expressionism by Vincent van Gogh - Digitally Enhanced

Vincent van Gogh's Skull (1887), depicting a side view of a skull, is one of his lesser-known works that reflects his exploration of anatomy during his time at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. This painting is part of a series of skull studies created between 1887 and 1888, showcasing his academic exercises in human anatomy while also hinting at deeper symbolic undertones.

Description and Artistic Features

Composition: The painting features a side profile of a skull set against a vibrant yellow background, contrasting the somber subject with an unusual brightness. The sharp contours and angular shapes of the skull are rendered with assertive strokes, creating a dynamic visual effect13.

Brushwork: Van Gogh employed a combination of thin and thick paint applications to create light reflections on the skull. Heavy splodges of light-colored paint highlight certain areas, while drying cracks are visible due to the use of zinc white paint over an earlier image5.

Colors: Unlike his monochromatic Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette, this work uses vibrant hues like blue, green, and orange to emphasize vitality even in the face of mortality
