"Skeletons Fighting over a Herring" is a notable painting by the Belgian artist James Ensor, created in 1891. This work is emblematic of Ensor's fascination with the macabre and his penchant for incorporating skeletons and masks into his art, which often served as a critique of contemporary society and human folly. The painting depicts a comically grotesque scene where two animated skeletons are engaged in a fierce struggle over a single herring, a motif that may symbolize the pettiness and absurdity of human conflicts over trivial matters.

Ensor's style in this piece is characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic brushwork, which contribute to the sense of movement and chaos within the composition. The subject matter reflects the artist's dark humor and his interest in the carnivalesque, a theme that recurs throughout his oeuvre. "Skeletons Fighting over a Herring" is considered a precursor to Expressionism and has been interpreted as a satirical commentary on the social and political tensions of Ensor's time.

The painting is part of Ensor's mature period, during which he gained recognition for his innovative approach to light, color, and subject matter. It is held in high regard for its technical skill and its ability to convey complex themes through seemingly absurd and fantastical imagery. "Skeletons Fighting over a Herring" remains an important work in the study of James Ensor's art and continues to captivate audiences with its enduring relevance and its insight into the human condition.
