Vincent van Gogh created his iconic Sunflowers series during his prolific Arles period. He deeply connected with the sunflower, viewing it as a symbol of gratitude and artistic inspiration. As he wrote to a friend: "If [Georges] Jeannin has the peony, [Ernest] Quost the hollyhock, I indeed, before others, have taken the sunflower."
He painted four versions in August 1888, revisiting the motif in January 1889 with further repetitions. The most renowned are the fourth version and its two repetitions. The original (F454) resides at London's National Gallery, one repetition (F457) at Tokyo's Sompo Museum of Art, and the most iconic, (F458) at Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum. This LEGO set, a collaboration between the Van Gogh Museum (established 1973) and LEGO, recreates F458 as a three-dimensional relief, cleverly using abstract pieces to mimic van Gogh's distinctive brushstrokes.

The 2,615-piece set includes 34 numbered bags and an instruction booklet with a QR code linking to a podcast exploring van Gogh's life and artistic influences. The build process is thoughtfully structured: first, the frame, then the canvas, culminating in mounting the canvas within the frame using pins—a satisfyingly realistic touch that elevates the final product.

A delightful detail replicates a historical quirk: Van Gogh extended the canvas height with a wooden strip. LEGO cleverly mirrors this by having you add a separate strip with pins, using brown bricks to mimic wood. This subtle nod to the original painting's history adds a layer of unique appreciation for the builder.
The sunflower construction, while repetitive, accurately reflects van Gogh's meticulous approach. Take your time; this isn't a speed build. The wilting flowers and varied perspectives initially appear abstract but reveal their purpose upon stepping back, showcasing the thoughtful design.



The completed artwork's natural destination is a wall, making this set a unique gift or a rewarding personal project. Even a week after completion, the three-dimensional details continue to delight. This is a truly exceptional LEGO set, highly recommended.
LEGO Vincent van Gogh - Sunflowers, Set #31215, retails for $199.99 and contains 2615 pieces. Available exclusively at the LEGO Store.
