His two series of \u003cem\u003eSunflowers\u003c\/em\u003e are among his most famous.\u003cbr\u003eThe first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, made a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. What is interesting about this particular painting is that the sunflowers are wilting.\u003cbr\u003eVan Gogh hung the first two paintings in his guestroom in Arles as a way to welcome – and impress – his friend, painter Paul Gauguin, when he came to stay.\u003cbr\u003eWe often forget that, in this work, the flowers are not in bloom. On the contrary, they are wilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Vincent van Gogh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVincent van Gogh (born March 30, 1853, Zundert, Netherlands—died July 29, 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, France) was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.\u003cbr\u003eIn a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. He was not commercially successful, and his death at 37 came after years of mental illness, depression and poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vincent van Gogh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45190284836934,"sku":"TIADPUNCHSUNFLOW","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1802\/5767\/files\/TIADPUNCHSUNFLOW_01.jpg?v=1789669815","url":"https:\/\/www.todayisartday.com\/fr-ca\/products\/punch-needle-kit-sunflowers-van-gogh","provider":"Today is Art Day","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
