Sunflowers (1888) by Vincent Van Gogh

Sunflowers — Vincent van Gogh (1888)

A blaze of yellow on yellow—sun heads bowed and bright, stems thick with paint, a humble vase turned icon. This fine-art reproduction—after van Gogh’s 1888 Arles series—distils joy and sunlight into colour and texture: ochres, citrons, and honeyed tones built in confident impasto against a calm, flat ground. It’s warm, uplifting, and unmistakably van Gogh.

Why it captivates

• Pure optimism — a bouquet that reads like bottled sunshine.

• Texture you can feel — thick, sculptural paint gives petals and seeds real presence.

• Design-friendly — strong outlines and a simple composition suit contemporary spaces.

• Art-historical touchstone — part of the famed Arles series created to welcome Gauguin.

• Instant statement — recognisable across a room; cheerful without shouting.

What you’ll see

A rustic earthen vase centred on a flat field of colour, packed with sunflower heads in varied bloom—full faces, profiles, and seed-heavy discs. Bold contours and lively impasto articulate each petal and leaf, while subtle shifts of yellow and ochre create depth without clutter.

A richer historical frame

Painted in 1888 at Arles, the Sunflowers canvases were conceived to decorate van Gogh’s Yellow House—a welcome for Paul Gauguin and a manifesto of what colour alone could do. Their close cropping, flat backgrounds, and rhythmic repetition make them both intimate and monumental.
