Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 15 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 17.4 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 28.7 × 41.3 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Vincent van Gogh's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 43.2 × 61 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Vincent van Gogh’s “Two Cut Sunflowers,” painted in 1887, is an evocative masterpiece that captures the raw, almost visceral beauty of nature. These sunflowers, past their prime, are laid bare in all their wilting glory. Unlike the exuberant blooms of his more famous sunflower series, these flowers are weary, their petals curling and browning at the edges. Van Gogh’s choice of such a subject reflects his fascination with the cycles of life and decay.

The composition is arresting: two massive sunflower heads, decapitated and resting on a surface that vanishes into a swirling vortex of blues and greens. The background, with its thick, impasto brushstrokes, almost throbs with energy, making the static, lifeless flowers seem as if they are caught in a tempest of color and light. It’s a startling contrast that draws the viewer into the scene, evoking a sense of empathy for these fallen giants.

Van Gogh’s technique here is both masterful and intimate. The vigorous application of paint and the swirling, almost chaotic strokes give the painting a tactile quality. You can almost feel the brittle petals and the rough texture of the sunflower seeds. His use of color is particularly noteworthy – the yellows and browns of the sunflowers starkly stand out against the vibrant, electric blues of the background, enhancing the dramatic effect.

In “Two Cut Sunflowers,” Van Gogh presents a poignant meditation on the beauty found in decay and the relentless passage of time, capturing a fleeting moment with profound emotional depth.
