Three Skulls from Convento dei Cappucini at Palermo is a 1894 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows three skulls arranged in a row, each with a different expression. The skull on the left has its mouth open, while the middle skull has its mouth closed. The skull on the right has a more serene expression. The skulls are placed on a table or shelf, with a sign or label in front of them. The painting is done in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of somberness and contemplation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
