This LEGO Art Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers set is a substantial piece, measuring 21 inches high and 16 inches wide—approximately 60% the size of the original painting.

This reflects LEGO's ongoing transition from a novelty item for adults to a full-fledged adult hobby.

The set is a meticulously crafted tribute to one of the world's most iconic artworks. Van Gogh's deep emotional connection to sunflowers, symbolizing gratitude, is well-documented. He famously wrote to a friend, "If [Georges] Jeannin has the peony, [Ernest] Quost the hollyhock, I indeed, before others, have taken the sunflower."

Van Gogh created seven sunflower paintings; the most renowned are the fourth version and its two repetitions. The LEGO set replicates the version housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, known for its vibrant color palette. The Van Gogh Museum, established in 1973, collaborated with LEGO on this project.

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 process begins with the frame, followed by the canvas. The final step involves mounting the canvas and securing it with pins, mirroring the real-world art presentation process.

A clever detail replicates an imperfection in the original painting: Van Gogh added a wooden strip to the top of the canvas. The LEGO set cleverly mirrors this, adding a brown brick strip, a subtle detail appreciated only by the builder.

Building the sunflowers is somewhat repetitive, reflecting the dedication Van Gogh himself exhibited. However, the result is a strikingly convincing representation. The wilting flowers and those depicted in profile, initially appearing abstract, reveal their detail upon closer inspection.

The completed set's placement is obvious: on a wall. This is a key selling point; the builder knows exactly where it will reside, providing lasting enjoyment. This is a top-tier LEGO set for 2025, highly recommended.

LEGO Vincent van Gogh - Sunflowers, Set #31215, retails for $199.99 and is available exclusively at the LEGO Store.
