Metropolitan Museum Of Art Van Gogh Irises Ballpoint Pen

Creativity is found in this Metropolitan Museum Of Art Van Gogh Irises Ballpoint Pen.  Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch, 1853―1890), the eldest son of a Dutch Reformed minister and a bookseller’s daughter, pursued various vocations, including that of an art dealer and clergyman, before deciding to become an artist at the age of twenty-seven.  Over the course of his decade-long career (1880―90), he produced nearly 900 painting and more than 1,100 works on paper.  Van Gogh painted the irises reproduced on this pen near the end of his long stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy.
This ballpoint twists to open and close and takes a standard Monteverde Parker style ballpoint or gel refill.
