The Artist's Studio

The Artist's Studio is one of the final rooms cleared in Luigi's Mansion. It is found in the fourth Area.

Using the Key he received from the Cold Storage, Luigi unlocked the door to The Artist's Studio. He saw the ghostly painter, Vincent Van Gore painting away at a picture of a treasure chest. He became angry at the novice ghost-hunter for failing to understand the life he gives his paintings. Van Gore locks Luigi in the room and summons his ghosts from the paintings lining the room. Three each of Gold Ghosts, Purple Punchers, Blue Twirlers, Red Grabbers, Shy Guy Ghosts, Garbage Can Ghosts, and Purple Bombers attack Luigi, one set at a time. Luigi sucked them all up, three by three, into his vacuum. With his creations gone, Vincent Van Gore gave up. Luigi was able to overcome the old ghost's weak pull and capture him. The plumber received the golden spade-shaped Key to the Secret Altar from the treasure chest painting.

The Artist's Studio contains the eight paintings mentioned, all lined up in a row along the back wall, except the treasure chest painting, which stands on the east wall. Two two-tiered shelves of art supplies are behind the easels. A small stool is in the southwest corner.
