Born in 1853, van Gogh was son of a Dutch Protestant minister. Early in his life, he possessed a moody temperament that would later haunt him in his efforts to become a successful artist. His brief and turbulent life epitomizes mad genius legend. Rejected by women he loved because of his difficult and contradictory personality, his few friendships usually ended in bitter arguments.

Strangely, van Gogh’s life had very little to do with painting. By age of 27 he had been a salesman in an art gallery, a French tutor, a theological student and an evangelical minister. It was not until 10 years before his death that he decided to pick up a brush. His early work, Dutch period of 1880-85, consists of dark greenish-brown, heavily painted studies of peasants and miners. By 1888, after working under Pisarro, van Gogh began experimenting with a brighter range of colors that are characteristic of many of his later works.

In 1888, in ill health, van Gogh moved to Arles with Gauguin for a brief period for release from Paris. At Arles, fraught with internal tension, van Gogh mutilated his left ear in course of his first attack of dementia. His paintings from this period include incomparable series of sunflowers: Two Sunflowers, Vase with Twelve Sunflowers, Four Cut Sunflowers and Sunflowers.

Dr. Jan Hulsker, one of world's foremost scholars of Vincent van Gogh, suggests that sunflower series "perhaps more than any other of his paintings, have made him known throughout world. They are often only works with which he is identified." In recent years a great deal of attention has been devoted to authenticity of some of sunflower paintings (namely, Yasuda version). Most experts, however, have come to conclusion that Yasuda work is genuine. Unfortunately arguments about authenticity have detracted from more critical and analytical studies of works themselves, and detailed critical commentary of sunflower series is surprisingly difficult to find. Overall, Jan Hulsker's observation of sunflower series truly mirrors Vincent's own belief that these works would indeed prove to be those for which Vincent is best beloved. Van Gogh once said in a letter to his brother, Theo, in 1889, “You may know that peony is Jeannin's, hollyhock belongs to Quost, but sunflower is mine in a way."
