Sunflower Barbie Doll Vincent Van Gogh 1998 Mattel 19366

Imagine a field of sunflowers... glorious colors of yellow and orange with warm brown centers and bright green leaves reaching up to the sky. Perhaps it was a field such as this that artist Vincent Van Gogh drew inspiration for his famous paintings. It is also the inspiration for Sunflower Barbie doll, the most beautiful flower of all.

Van Gogh created the bright sunflower paintings to decorate his room in Arles, France.

The intensity of his vision and the style of his paintings are legendary. His palette ranged from somber grays and browns to his trademark of brilliant yellows, oranges and blues. His brush wove masterful images from short strokes of color.

Van Gogh's work was largely unrecognized during his lifetime but now, more than a century after his death, his style and vibrant use of color make his paintings some of the best known and loved images in all of art.

Born in the Netherlands in 1853 to a religious family, Van Gogh considered becoming a pastor but he felt unworthy of such a noble calling. Still, his hart shows a strong spiritual compassion to which the term masterpiece is not an exaggeration.
