2 Cut Sunflowers replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
The Emergence Of An Identity
In late 1888, Van Gogh began painting a series of
sunflower paintings, under the influence that he needed to create a series that identified himself with the work, such as Jeannin with the peony flower, and Quost with the hollyhock.
He eventually settled on the sunflower, and began painting a number of paintings. He originally began his series in
Paris, and continued his work as he moved to
Arles.
A Blend Of Nature And Inspiration
In his endless quest for bettering his craft, Van Gogh constantly searched for subjects and
landscapes that would challenge him. During this search, he felt that as an artist, he needed a set of paintings that would identify him from the rest of the crowd.
His search for a muse led him to look to
nature, where he found the sunflower to be a perfect subject for a series of his future paintings.
