What artist died of gangrene on an island?

Posted on February 21st, 2010 by admin

In an art history course, I remember learning of an artist that died of gangrene alone on an island. Now I can’t remember the artist and its driving me crazy! Can anyone help?

Paul Gauguin died in Tahiti of syphillis — close but no cigar!
