Appreciation of Van Gogh's Sunflower

Van Gogh's life was almost squeezed on the edge of fate, suffering from the cold world and the ensuing trauma, but instead, he urged himself to look for sunshine in adversity and grow stronger. With an understanding of Van Gogh's miserable life, we can see that the sunflower in front of us is no longer a simple plant, but a sincere and passionate life, just like Van Gogh himself.

By depicting sunflowers, Van Gogh expressed his understanding of life to the world and showed his unique spiritual world. To some extent, Sunflower is a tribute to the vagaries of the times, and its vibrant colors have changed the long tradition of Dutch flower painting since the 17th century.
