After the phasing out of the original Visconti Van Gogh pens it was decided that the gap needed to be filled. Visconti was inspired by Van Gogh's work and the multitude of colours, textures and styles that he used to create his masterpieces.

The entire range of Visconti Van Gogh pens is a hymn to colour; they worked very hard to find the right formulas to ensure that the images would be represented faithfully.

The paintings that are retold in the range are - Sunflowers, Starry Night, The Iris and his Self Portraits. Never before has a pen been designed from a specific canvas - a very difficult work considering the diversity of the objects and techniques that are used on each of the paintings.
