Fountain Pen Masters Of Art Homage To Vincent Van Gogh Limited Edition 4810 M | Montblanc

WITH MONTBLANC MASTERS OF ART HOMAGE TO VINCENT VAN GOGH LIMITED EDITION 4810, MONTBLANC CELEBRATES VINCENT VAN GOGH, ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PAINTERS OF THE 19TH CENTURY. IN PARTICULAR, THIS EDITION RECALLS THE PERIOD THAT THE ARTIST SPENT IN ARLES, WITH DECORATIVE DETAILS THAT RECALL THE WHEAT FIELDS OF PROVENCE, AS WELL AS ONE OF HIS MOST FAMOUS PAINTINGS: “SUNFLOWERS”. THE NUMBER 1888 ENGRAVED ON THE BODY RING - NEXT TO VINCENT'-S SIGNATURE IN BRIGHT ORANGE - RECALLS THE YEAR HE MOVED TO ARLES. THE BODY IS DECORATED IN YELLOW AND ORANGE SHADES EVOKING THE SUNNY LANDSCAPES OF SOUTHERN FRANCE, WHILE THE FAMOUS SERIES OF FIVE PAINTINGS OF SUNFLOWERS INSPIRED THE VERSION EMBOSSED ON THE HAND-CUT AU 750 SOLID GOLD NIB WITH A RHODIUM FINISH. VAN GOGH DEVELOPED A FREER, MORE FLEXIBLE STYLE AND BECOME SKILLED WITH BOTH THE BRUSH AND THE SPATULA, WHICH HE USED TO APPLY THICKER AND FURTHER STROKES OF COLOR, CREATING WORKS WITH "-IMPOSA"- PAINT. HIS SPATULA INSPIRED THE PLATINUM FINISH CLIP, WHILE ITS WIDE BRUSH STROKES ARE EVOLUTED BY THE YELLOW LACQUER ON THE TOP OF THE CAP. FURTHERMORE, HIS PASSION FOR THE PIPE, PRESENT IN MANY OF HIS SELF-PORTRAITS, IS CAPTURED IN A REFINED DETAIL OF THE CLIP: THE TOP HAS THE SHAPE OF THE HEAD OF A PIPE AND IS FILLED WITH FINE YELLOW RESIN. IN TRIBUTE TO VINCENT'-S LOVE OF TRADITIONAL JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINTS, THE OVERALL SHAPE IS INSPIRED BY A JAPANESE CARVING KNIFE, WHILE THE CAP IS MADE OF WOOD. THE EDITION IS CROWNED BY A MONTBLANC EMBLEM IN PRECIOUS YELLOW RESIN
