The second group of paintings
about sunflowers painted by Vincent Van Gogh, was achieved in 1888, in Arles,
and it’s chacacterised by the repetitive presence of sunflowers in vase. In
this collection there is a contrast between the platness of the background and
the flowers that seem to squirm in all directions.
The painting “VASE WITH
TWELVE SUNFLOWERS” was painted in August 1888 in Van Gogh’s atelier. It’s 91 cm
high and 71 cm wight. The painting it’s pervaded by bright colours and by an
atmosphere of serenity. It shows a vase with twelve sunflowers, a support base
and the background. The deep blue, chosen as the
background colour , allows a fantastic accentuation of the yellow and brown tones of the petals of the large
yellow flowers, which communicate the idea of
Provence in summer .
Now, if you want to see this
painting, you have to go to Munich, in
Germany.
