Unknown Artist - Sunflowers: A Tribute to Van Gogh

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Vincent Van Gogh's artistic production, presented in this master's copy, dates back to a crucial moment in Post-Impressionist painting. The painter's intention was undoubtedly to propose a Milletti-esque realism tied to the harshness of work and life in the fields. But Van Gogh's sensibility needed to imbue his art with mystical overtones. In this sense, his encounter with Symbolism and his association with Gauguin were crucial, leading him to a representation of reality beyond the tangible, imbued with spiritual meaning. All of Van Gogh's art is suspended in this dichotomy between Realism and Symbolism, which is nothing other than the result of his need to express a spirituality tied to the land and the harshness of life.

The artist of this copy has succeeded in reproducing Van Gogh's complex pictorial style, which combines the two most important tendencies of Post-Impressionism. On the one hand, the detached style of the Divisionists, which represents the object through separate strokes, leaving the viewer to reconstruct the image. On the other, the compact and iconic Gauguinian à plat. Another fundamental element that the artist has successfully enhanced is the vividness of a dense, earthy layering that directly connects to tangible reality.
