Farm Garden with Sunflowers as a print, in a room
What the painting shows
Farm Garden with Sunflowers by Klimt is an oil painting that fills the canvas from edge to edge with blooming plants and foliage. A cluster of tall sunflowers rises on the right, displaying golden yellow petals, dark seed heads, and heavy green leaves. Another sunflower stem extends into the upper left corner.
Beneath the sunflowers, Klimt presents a dense meadow of smaller blossoms. Warm orange and scarlet red flowers cluster in the center, contrasted by deep blue and purple globes, bright yellow dots, and clusters of white phlox near the bottom foreground. The composition omits the sky and horizon completely, transforming the field into a flat, rhythmic mosaic of color.
The story behind it
Klimt completed the painting around 1907, though some museum records list 1906. The work is also recorded under the titles Cottage Garden with Sunflowers and Bauerngarten mit Sonnenblumen. It forms an important part of his work in landscapes and flowers and gardens. Klimt turned his attention away from allegorical human figures to study the pure patterns, growth, and vibrant colors of rural nature.
Where to see it
The original painting hangs in the Belvedere in Vienna, Austria. The oil on canvas measures 110 by 110 centimeters, though German records sometimes cite dimensions of 110 by 100 centimeters.
Choosing a print
Prints are printed and shipped by ArtsyWall in three formats: Premium Canvas, Framed Canvas and Archival Paper.
If you want the presence of an oil painting on your wall, Premium Canvas stretches the rich green leaves and bright yellow sunflower heads cleanly over solid wood bars for a clean, frameless look. Framed Canvas places the canvas in a wooden floating frame, adding crisp outer borders that highlight the warm reds, blues, and bright whites of the garden flowers. For precise color fidelity and fine floral detail, Archival Paper brings out the brushstrokes of each individual blossom behind glass.
