Van Gogh’s paintings of Sunflowers are among his most famous. He did them in Arles, in the south of France, in 1888 and 1889. Vincent painted a total of five large canvases with sunflowers in a vase, with three shades of yellow ‘and nothing else’.

After practising with different flowers, he chose a specific variety: the sunflower. His fellow painters thought that sunflowers were perhaps somewhat coarse and unrefined. But this is exactly what Vincent liked, and he also enjoyed painting flowers that had gone to seed. He gave sunflowers the lead role in several paintings.

Vincent Van Gogh’s flower paintings are some of his most cherished works, showcasing his vibrant use of color and innovative brushwork. From sunflowers to irises, his floral masterpieces reflect his profound love for nature and his remarkable ability to capture its beauty.
