Sunflowers Painting by Van Gogh (1888, fourth version)
In 1887 in Paris, where Theo his brother lived, Van Gogh painted four still lifes of sunflowers. The works received great praise from his good friend Paul Gaugain, whose opinion meant a great deal to him. A year passed and Van Gogh hoped to impress Gaugain with four, new Sunflowers painting. These were intended for his friend’s bedroom at the Yellow House in Arles, where both artists spent nine eventful weeks between October and December. In 1889, he painted another three versions which were very like the prior series of four.
