Sunflowers Collection: Vincent van Gogh Oil Painting Reproductions

Few images in all of art are as instantly loved as Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers. This collection brings together his radiant vases of sunflowers alongside the bold Paris studies of cut blooms that led to them, the whole story of the flower that became his signature.

Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, painted as a hymn to the sun

Van Gogh painted his great Sunflowers in Arles in 1888-89 to decorate the Yellow House for the arrival of his friend Gauguin. He saw the flower as a symbol of gratitude, light and friendship, and worked it in thick, radiant yellows laid on so heavily the paint stands off the canvas. Earlier, in Paris in 1887, he had studied cut sunflower heads gone to seed, the powerful experiments that taught him the yellows he would make famous.

Here you can choose from the celebrated vases of twelve and fifteen sunflowers, the intimate three-bloom versions, and the striking Paris studies. Each is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction whose impasto brushwork catches the light exactly as the original does, in the size that suits your wall.

Hand-painted oil reproductions, made to order

Every piece in this collection is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto artist-grade cotton canvas by a senior studio painter, never printed and never machine-made, or as a smooth archival fine-art print at a lower price. Choose your size and orientation, then finish it rolled, stretched on a wooden frame, or in a thin or thick frame. Each canvas is made to order, quality-inspected by hand, and shipped free worldwide with a certificate of authenticity and a 30-day return guarantee.
