Pins & Brooches*The Met Store Van Gogh Sunflower Brooch

This sunny cast-glass brooch embellished with hand-applied gold leaf celebrates the Museum’s Sunflowers (1887), one of four still lifes Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) painted featuring these eye-catching yellow blooms in Paris during the late summer of 1887. Paul Gauguin once owned two of the smaller sunflower studies, which he displayed above his bed before selling them in the mid-1890s to finance his trip to the South Seas.
