How many sunflower paintings did vincent van Gogh make?
Vincent Van Gogh seemed to have quite a personal attachment to the sunflower. In the year before his death he wrote to his brother Theo, “It is a kind of a painting that rather changes in character, and takes on a richness the longer you look at it.. You know the peony is Jeannis, the hollyhock belongs to Quost, but the sunflower is somewhat my own.” In many letters to his brother, he spoke glowingly of the richness of color that he saw in the Sunflowers, and his own desire to paint them before they quickly faded.
