- Synopsis
- Still Life: Vase with Fourteen Sunflowers"" by Vincent Van Gogh, 1889: This complex painting has been broken down into five separate images to enable its components to be identified more easily. A single sunflower is also shown to demonstrate a typical flower of this type. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Images 2 to 5 have a dashed image border to show where the image finishes. At the bottom of the images 2 to 5 is a strong horizontal line which represents the back edge of the table and the start of the wall surface. The final image in the sequence shows the artwork in its entirety. A single sunflower in close-up: This picture shows a close-up of a single sunflower. A stem starts in the centre bottom of the page and leads up the page with two leaves (one on each side of the stem) to a large sunflower head in the centre of the page. The centre of the flower head is solid, representing the dark area of seeds, and this particular flower has a circular band of a lighter colour around the central part. The whole head is surrounded by slim, overlapping petals. The position of the six orange sunflowers: The image shows the vase of flowers and the position of only six of the fourteen flowers, those with dense rounded orange-coloured heads. The rounded vase is in the bottom centre of the page. The solid black circles show the centre of each flower head, surrounded by approximately circular areas of petals. Some of the flowers are touching or overlapping each other, and some, but not all of the stems are visible. The flower on the right-hand side has a single leaf hanging below the flower head. The position of the eight yellow sunflowers: This image shows the vase and the position of the remaining eight of the fourteen sunflowers, those with more separated bright yellow petals. The centre of each flower head is shown as solid circles, and some of the flowers have a circular band of another colour around the central part. The shape created by the petals is more jagged than the other flowers in the vase. Again, some flowers are touching or overlapping each other, and some stems, but not all are visible. The position of all flower heads: The image shows the vase and the location of all of the fourteen flowers, showing just the stems and central part of the flower head (no petals are shown on this image). The whole painting: This image shows the whole painting, the vase and all fourteen sunflowers, complete with the areas of the petals. There is also a flower bud that is still green shown just to the left of the vase. The complexity of this image means that it may be difficult to interpret tactually, but the prior separation of the image into its component parts may have helped you to build up the image in your mind.
