The vibrant yellows of this piece look stunning when stitched in the Six-Strand Embroidery Floss included. This complete bookmark kit has been developed in collaboration with The National Gallery where you can view one of Van Goghs Sunflowers paintings. He painted five different versions of Sunflowers to decorate his house in Arles in readiness for a visit from his friend and fellow artist, Paul Gauguin. They were among the first paintings Van Gogh produced that show his signature expressive style. Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Van Gogh has become one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. His landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork.
