Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings of Sunflowers are among his most famous. He did them in Arles, in the south of France, in 1888 and 1889.

And now, Lego has come out with a series, Lego Art, which includes one of Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings. It’s a celebration of color. This buildable art model was created in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and it reimagines Van Gogh’s 1889 masterpiece, capturing his signature use of color, light, and shadow in LEGO Bricks. The sunflower petals in this 3D buildable art model can be adjusted, and it features a tile with Van Gogh’s signature.

This 2,615-piece Sunflowers wall art set measures 21 inches (54 cm) high, 16 inches (41 cm) wide and 2 inches (5 cm) deep. And it can be yours for $199.99. Maybe put it on my Christmas list?

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

~ Don McLean (1971)
