A year after the playful student painting he made in Antwerp, Van Gogh returned to the skull in Paris in 1887, taking a more serious approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in profile against a warm ochre-yellow background, it is painted in shades of brown and grey, with touches of green. The brushstrokes are loose yet considered, defining the cheekbone, eye socket and jawline. There is no drama, candle or hourglass: only the object, studied with the same care he gave a pair of boots or a basket of apples. The result feels calm rather than macabre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, skulls have appeared in still life paintings as a reminder of life’s brevity. This one belongs to that tradition, yet feels remarkably modern. It suits a study, library or living room with an eclectic feel, whether in a London flat or a country home. The poster is available in several sizes.
