Vase With Twelve Sunflowers II By Vincent Van Gogh
Vase with Twelve Sunflowers II by Vincent van Gogh is matched here to the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s 1889 Sunflowers, the later repetition of Van Gogh’s earlier twelve-sunflower composition now in Munich. Van Gogh painted the Philadelphia version from memory during the winter of 1889, revisiting the sunflower arrangement rather than simply making a mechanical copy. Catalogued as F 455 / JH 1668, the historic oil-on-canvas painting measures approximately 92 × 72.5 cm. Alpha Art Gallery offers reproductions as canvas prints, fine art prints, framed prints and 100% hand-painted oil paintings.
Important Identification: The Later Twelve-Sunflower Version
Your catalogue already contains products matched to the Munich F 456 sunflower painting. To prevent another accidental duplicate, “Vase With Twelve Sunflowers II” is best matched to Van Gogh’s later Philadelphia repetition, F 455 / JH 1668.
If the product image instead exactly matches the Munich version, the SKU should be reviewed. Historically, however, the Philadelphia work is the strongest match for a commercial title using “II.”
Van Gogh Revisited His Sunflowers in Winter
The Philadelphia Museum of Art dates its painting to 1889. Van Gogh recreated the sunflower arrangement after the fresh flowers used for his summer 1888 paintings were long gone.
This means he relied on his earlier composition and memory rather than placing a new bouquet directly in front of him.
Not Merely a Copy
The Philadelphia Museum emphasizes that the later painting is a variation and new interpretation rather than a simple duplicate.
Individual flowers have distinct characters, and changes in the handling of the bouquet distinguish the later work from its Munich predecessor.
The Sunflowers and La Berceuse
Van Gogh later imagined sunflower paintings flanking a version of his portrait La Berceuse. This idea gave the repeated sunflower canvases a role within a larger decorative ensemble rather than treating them solely as independent flower studies.
