Part of a series painted in Arles to brighten his home for Gauguin's visit, Van Gogh's sunflowers blaze in radiant yellows that show off his daring colour and thick impasto. He saw the flowers, caught between bloom and wilt, as a symbol of gratitude and life's cycle. Few still lifes are so instantly known.
