Sunflowers was exhibited at the seventh Impressionist exhibition. The sunflowers for this still life were taken from Monet's garden in Vetheuil, and the painting was revered by critics (who were wowed by his mastery of such a traditional subject) and Vincent Van Gogh, whose own depictions of sunflowers were to be among his own most popular and famous works.
Though some similarities between Van Gogh's Sunflowers and the ones of Monet exist, the first painted the individual sunflowers with a much higher level of detail whereas Monet focused more on the composition as a whole. Unlike Van Gogh, Monet painted the sunflowers with no sign of decay. Monet chose seven types of flowers for his still life works - sunflowers were among his most popular and this work accompanied five others to the Impressionist exhibition of 1882.
