Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" is an iconic series of still life paintings that have become synonymous with the artist's name and style. Created between 1888 and 1889 in Arles, France, these vibrant works showcase van Gogh's masterful use of color and his deep emotional connection to his subject matter.The most famous of the series depicts a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase, painted with bold yellows and oranges against a yellow background. Van Gogh created multiple versions of this composition, each with subtle variations in the number of flowers, their arrangement, and the vase itself. Van Gogh's fascination with sunflowers began during his time in Paris, where he first experimented with the subject. However, it was in Arles that he fully embraced the sunflower as his artistic signature. He saw these paintings as a way to welcome his friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin, using them to decorate the guest room of the Yellow House where Gauguin was to stay. The "Sunflowers" series is notable for van Gogh's innovative use of the yellow spectrum. He employed newly invented pigments to create a range of yellow hues, from pale lemon to deep golden tones. This exploration of a single color's variations was groundbreaking for its time and demonstrated van Gogh's artistic vision and technical skill. For van Gogh, sunflowers symbolized gratitude and happiness. He saw them as "happy faces" and found deep inspiration in their form and color. The paintings capture the flowers at various stages of life, from full bloom to withering, reflecting the cycle of life and the passage of time. The enduring popularity of van Gogh's "Sunflowers" lies in their emotional resonance and visual impact. These works have become cultural icons, inspiring countless reproductions and interpretations. They represent not only van Gogh's artistic genius but also his unique perspective on beauty and nature. Today, van Gogh's "Sunflowers" continue to captivate audiences worldwide, serving as a testament to the artist's enduring legacy and his ability to find profound meaning in seemingly simple subjects. These paintings remain among the most recognizable and beloved works in the history of art, cementing van Gogh's place as one of the most influential artists of all time.

To avoid cropping images and affecting the canvas's quality, our canvases do not have the printed image extending onto the sides of the frame which is left white. Because of how we make our canvases, there might be a tiny difference in size (around +/- 1/8" or 3.2mm).
