It is unclear when Vincent van Gogh painted this version of Sunflowers, it is believed to be in the year 1888 or 1889.
His taste for these flowers was almost an obsession for Vincent, not only did he paint them with all kinds of lighting and arrangement, but he also made several compositions of each arrangement. For example, in this other version of the Sunflowers, the same elements are shown with slight changes: 12 flowers in an oval vase, on a table.
Currently, the work is at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, United States.

Why is this painting famous?
Sunflowers, painted by Van Gogh in 1889, is part of the series of sunflower paintings that achieved worldwide fame as one of the most iconic and recognizable sets of Post-Impressionism. Van Gogh painted several versions, now housed in prestigious museums such as the National Gallery in London and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which greatly increased their international visibility.

Its popularity soared in the art market with record auction sales and it has been massively reproduced on all kinds of media, from educational materials to decorative objects, becoming a cultural image inseparable from the name Van Gogh.Discover more famous paintings
