93 ImagesVan Gogh created several sunflower paintings, with the fourth version and its repetitions being the most iconic. This LEGO set replicates the Van Gogh Museum's version (F458), utilizing abstract pieces to mimic his signature brushstrokes.

The 2615-piece set includes 34 numbered bags and instructions with a QR code linking to a podcast about Van Gogh. The build process begins with the frame, followed by the canvas. A clever detail mirrors Van Gogh's addition of a wooden strip to the top of the canvas; LEGO replicates this using brown bricks, a subtle nod to the original's imperfections.

This hidden detail, only apparent to the builder, adds a unique layer of satisfaction and exclusivity. The repetitive nature of building the sunflowers reflects Van Gogh's meticulous approach, encouraging a mindful build rather than a rushed one.

The depiction of wilting and profile sunflowers, initially appearing abstract, reveals its brilliance upon stepping back. The seemingly random elements become identifiable stems and leaves within the larger context.

The finished piece is destined for display—a wall-mounted masterpiece. This set’s value extends beyond the building process; it becomes a lasting piece of art, offering continued enjoyment long after completion. A truly exceptional LEGO set for 2025.
