About this work

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890)
Year: 1888
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 92.1 × 73 cm
Collection: National Gallery, London (the fourth version, fifteen sunflowers on a yellow ground)
Movement: Post-Impressionism
Series: Sunflowers (Arles series)

Fifteen sunflowers in an earthenware vase, some fresh, some gone to seed, painted almost entirely in shades of yellow against a yellow wall. Van Gogh made this canvas in Arles in August 1888 as one of a group of sunflower pictures intended to decorate the room where Paul Gauguin would stay that autumn. He worked fast, before the cut flowers wilted, and used the new chrome yellows to push the colour as far as it would go; a thin blue line marks the table edge. The vase carries his signature, Vincent. This version, with the yellow background, was kept by the artist's family and bought by the National Gallery in London in 1924. Van Gogh painted a repetition of it in January 1889, now in Amsterdam.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Yellow on yellow warms any room that gets little sun: a kitchen, breakfast nook or north-facing living room. It holds its own at 24×36 in natural wood on a white or soft grey wall, and pairs with Irises for a two-colour run.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Sunflowers in the public domain?

Yes. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Sunflowers painted, and in what medium?

Sunflowers dates from 1888 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 92.1 × 73 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Sunflowers we'd choose 24×36.
