“Still Life – Vase with Fourteen Sunflowers,” created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in 1889 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, is a distinguished oil on canvas painting. This flower painting, measuring 100.5 x 76.5 cm, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork features a vase filled with fourteen sunflowers, depicted in their signature vibrant and bold strokes typical of Van Gogh’s style. The sunflowers burst with dynamic yellows and greens, set against a subtly textured background that emphasizes their form and color. The arrangement in the simple rustic vase showcases an array of sunflowers at various stages of bloom, capturing both vitality and the passage of natural life. The artist’s expressive use of color and texture brings a sense of depth and emotion to the composition, making it a quintessential example of Van Gogh’s floral works within the Post-Impressionist genre.
