Sunflowers

Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers comprises two notable flower painting series, created during his Post-impressionism period. The first, painted in Paris in 1887, depicts sunflowers lying on the ground, showcasing his experimentation with Oil paints on Canvas. The second set, produced a year later in Arles, features a vibrant bouquet in a vase, intended for decoration in the Yellow House, aiming to impress his friend Paul Gauguin. Both series symbolize van Gogh’s admiration for the sunflower's vitality and are celebrated within the tradition of flower painting.
