Perhaps the artist most widely associated with sunflowers is Post-Impressionist icon Vincent van Gogh, who found much inspiration in these brilliant blooms, their effulgence of yellow and exaggerated size a perfect match for Van Gogh’s intense, color-drenched style. The glory of the sunflower, however, is not only limited to Van Gogh and has brightened many canvases, including those of Claude Monet, Georgia O’Keeffe and Diego Rivera, as well as the following works by Evelyn De Morgan, Gustave Caillebotte and Paul Gauguin.

Evelyn De Morgan’s Clytie

The sunflower's mythological origin involves a beautiful nymph named Clytie who fell in love with Apollo, god of the sun. Apollo soon lost interest in Clytie, but to prove her devotion to him she sat upon a rock staring at Apollo’s golden chariot above and did not eat or drink for nine days. Eventually, the other gods felt enough compassion for Clytie to turn her into what would eventually become the sunflower, so that she could always draw energy from and gaze up at her beloved.

By the time she was seventeen, British painter Evelyn De Morgan (1855-1919) was determined to become an artist and eventually overcame her parents’ objections to such a career. Evelyn’s uncle was John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, a Pre-Raphaelite who encouraged Evelyn’s creative hopes and no doubt influenced her own artistic inclinations. Myths were often depicted during the Victorian era, and De Morgan’s coolly sensual Clytie (ca. 1886) shows the forsaken nymph amid sunflowers and about to morph into one herself—a portrait of tragic devotion, or perhaps even a cautionary tale.
