Sunflowers
1888
Vincent van Gogh created this vibrant bouquet in 1888 to decorate the guest room for his friend Paul Gauguin, hoping to impress him with his skills. The flowers are shown in every stage of life, from bright, full blooms to drooping, seed-heavy heads, all bursting against a striking yellow background. You can even see his signature, 'Vincent,' painted right on the vase, a rare touch of pride for the artist. This iconic Post-Impressionist piece captures the fleeting beauty of nature with thick, energetic brushstrokes that make the petals feel almost alive.
