Tableware*The Met Store Monet Sunflowers Bowl Set

$28.8

Gifts for art lovers, inspired by The Met collection.

The radiant blooms on this set of four bowls come from Claude Monet’s (French, 1840–1926) Bouquet of Sunflowers (1881), a joyous still life in The Met collection. Monet exhibited the painting at the 1882 Impressionist exhibition to critical acclaim. It was likewise admired by Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890), who wrote in 1888: “Gauguin was telling me the other day—that he’d seen a painting by Claude Monet of sunflowers in a large Japanese vase, very fine. But—he likes mine better. I’m not of that opinion.”
