Vincent van Gogh - Sunflowers

Van Gogh's paintings of sunflowers are among his most famous works. He painted them in 1888 and 1889 in Arles, in the south of France. Vincent painted a total of five large canvases with sunflowers in a vase, with three shades of yellow "and nothing else". In this way he demonstrates that it is possible to create a picture with numerous variations of a single color without losing eloquence. ©Van Gogh Museum, © VGME B.V.
