National Gallery London, Podcast Tour Free Taster: The Sunflowers, Vincent Van Gogh

The Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh, on display in the National Gallery, London is brought to life in this six minute podcast.

This painting is known by everybody, and replicated on everything from fridge magnets to umbrellas. But alongside the sunny optimism of the yellow sunflowers, the painting gives us clues about the heartbreaking story of the artist's life. Hear why Van Gogh is the most famous painter in the world, the reason he made this painting, and the decisions behind his choice of flowers, and the colours he used.

The podcast is best listened to in front of the painting in room 43 of the National Gallery London. If you are not able to visit however, you can listen to the podcast, whilst looking at the painting online here: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/vincent-van-gogh-sunflowers.
