Best Answer

He painted many series of sunflowers. There are 3 paintings with fifteen sunflowers in the vase. Also a set of 2 paintings with twelve sun flowers in the vase. He first painted the twelve series. There is also a painting with 3 sunflowers in vase and one of 5 sunflowers in vase. the 5 sunflowers in vase was destroyed in the second world war by a fire on the 6th august 1945.
Vincent Van Gogh seemed to have quite a personal attachment to the sunflower. In the year before his death he wrote to his brother Theo, "It is a kind of a painting that rather changes in character, and takes on a richness the longer you look at it.. You know the peony is Jeannis, the hollyhock belongs to Quost, but the sunflower is somewhat my own." In many letters to his brother, he spoke glowingly of the richness of color that he saw in the Sunflowers, and his own desire to paint them before they quickly faded. (as quoted originally by Marc Eldo Tralbaut)
