The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London view map

It's hard to say which of Vincent van Gogh's paintings is his most famous, but Sunflowers (or, more precisely, this version of it since he painted a number of series on the subject) would almost certainly be in the top three. This is apparently the fourth version of the second series that he painted in 1888.

Although I had seen some of Van Gogh's work before (notably Starry Night), this was the first chance I'd had to see Sunflowers. It won't be the last, however, because a touring exhibition called "Botticelli to Van Gogh, Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London" is due to hit the shores in November 2020. Specifically, it will be at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Will I be there? You betcha.

I shall see you again then, Sunflowers.
