Van Gogh, “Sunflowers” – 1000 Pc Puzzle

Description

The sunflower became synonymous with Vincent Van Gogh. The beauty, emotive quality and creativity of his painted flowers are timeless, leaving room for every viewer to find their own, personal meaning of each version of these paintings. This particular image has been referred to as “vase with Twelve Sunflowers” and is the third version painted in 1889 in Paris while living with his brother, Theo. The image provides plenty of challenges with the blue wall in the background and the yellow tablecloth with it. While this seems to be a study in sunflowers, it actually is a study in color with very subtle color changes among the yellows of the flowers and the top of the vase. There are elements that will help with piece placement, the greens around the flowers and the stems, as well as the darker flower centers. In the end, you will get to understand the study in color that Van Gogh was using when creating this painting. Finished size 27.2″ x 19.7″
