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 grain fields of Provence, as well as one of his most famous paintings: "sunflower". The number 1888 engraved on the body of the body - next to Vincent's signature in brilliant orange - recalls the year in which he moved to Arles. The body is decorated in shades of yellow and orange that recall the sunny landscapes of southern France, while the famous series of five sunflower paintings inspired the clumsy version on the hand -worked brush in massive gold au 750 rhodium finish. Van Gogh developed a freer and flexible style and became skilled both with the brush and with the spatula, which he used to spread thicker and more impetuous sections of color, creating works with "dough" painting. His spatula inspired the platinum finish, while his large brush strokes are evoked by the yellow lacquer on the top of the hood. In addition, his passion for the pipe, present in many of his self -portraits, is captured in a refined detail of the clip: the upper part has the shape of the head of a pipe and is filled with fine yellow resin. In homage to Vincent's love for the traditional Japanese woodcuts, the overall shape is inspired by a Japanese carving knife, while the hood is made of wood. The edition is crowned by a Montblanc emblem in fine yellow resin.
