Wow - powerful last line!
Thanks for appending the facts, it helps put the final words in perspective. Your three lines say a great deal about the color of a short, unhappy, intense life. I also got somber feeling from this picture, which I don't normally associate with Van Gogh.
Very powerful... fantastic word choice!
SPECTACULAR, arrresting and glorious. The last line packs a punch.
striking painting - striking haiku!
'his canvas of death' - chilling!
The last line was so powerful and unexpected.
Lovely - you make every word count.
I love your haiku .... love it!
That's a wallop. So sad, but true.
powerful - succinct - WOW
"...lupine lines." What a phenomenal phrase.
Thanks for also including the facts Van Gogh. I've loved his work for the past 4 decades.
not then, not yet.
I can't see this picture as presaging death. If so, his whole life story is one of doom.
(I saw that you have appended some facts about the man he was)
But I have no quarrel with the form and impact of your haiku. Excellent, as always.
I can always rely on you for a fitting Haiku.....!
Amazing haiku that last line blows me away!
Beautiful and dark.
I agree with Janice, of Jabblog, this is chilling, indeed. Very well done.

Very sad but very beautiful as well.
Hope all is well with you Sue.
I have a contest on right now at my Happy Break blog, hope you'll stop by soon.
