This complete bookmark kit has been developed in collaboration with The National Gallery where you can view one of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers paintings. He painted five different versions of Sunflowers to decorate his house in Arles in readiness for a visit from his friend and fellow artist, Paul Gauguin. They were among the first paintings Van Gogh produced that show his signature expressive style.
