This LEGO rendition pays homage to one of the world's most famous artworks. Van Gogh's sunflowers, painted during a prolific period in Arles, France, held deep personal significance, symbolizing gratitude. He wrote to a friend, "*If \[Georges\] Jeannin has the peony, \[Ernest\] Quost the hollyhock, I indeed, before others, have taken the sunflower.*"

Van Gogh painted seven versions of sunflowers in a vase; the fourth and its two repetitions are the most renowned. This LEGO set, a collaboration between the Van Gogh Museum (established 1973) and LEGO, recreates the iconic version (F458) from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam as a three-dimensional relief, cleverly using abstract pieces to emulate Van Gogh's distinctive brushstrokes.
The 2615-piece set includes 34 numbered bags and an instruction booklet with a QR code linking to a podcast about Van Gogh. The build is thoughtfully structured: you first construct the frame, then the canvas, finally mounting the canvas into the frame with pins—a satisfyingly realistic process that enhances the final product's perceived value.
A delightful detail mirrors an historical imperfection: Van Gogh extended the canvas height with a wooden strip. LEGO cleverly replicates this with a separate strip added with pins, using brown bricks for authenticity. This subtle addition, invisible to most, adds a layer of enjoyment for the builder, highlighting the dedication and artistry involved.
Building the sunflowers is somewhat repetitive, mirroring Van Gogh's meticulous approach. However, the wilting flowers and those shown in profile add surprising depth and complexity, rewarding careful observation. The final result is stunning and readily displays on a wall.
This LEGO set provides a unique and rewarding building experience, culminating in a beautiful piece of art that's a joy to display. It's a fantastic addition to any collection, and its intended placement—on your wall—makes it a truly satisfying project.
LEGO Vincent van Gogh - Sunflowers, Set #31215, retails for $199.99 and contains 2615 pieces. Available exclusively at the LEGO Store.
