Description

Seen by Van Gogh as his finest work, this rare and little known painting seems to be the template from which the Pepe the frog character emerged. It's now known that this painting was the cause of the breakdown and ear mutilation incident of 1888 after Van Gogh decided to show Gaugin the painting and lay out his plans to paint the image on the side of trains and on tunnel walls, describing the piece as his greatest achievement caused Gaugin to laugh so hard a bottle of absinthe was spilled which led to a scuffle between the two men with Gaugin being heard to call Van Gogh a " Total fucking moron ! " to which Van Gogh is said to have retorted, " at least I'm not a pretentious big wanker like you !" . And, of course, the rest is history.
