Visconti Van Gogh Fountain Pen – Flowering Plum Orchard

“Flowering Plum Orchard” is the second oil painting selected by Visconti from Van Gogh’s Japanese series. The artist made this painting in 1887 from a Japanese print by Hiroshige, called Plum Garden in Kameido.Visconti’s latest launch draws inspiration from this most treasured and iconic paintings.

The collection has yellow gold plated metal fittings which add light to the red, green, and brown acrylic resin. The fountain pen comes with a new red ink called “Flowering Plum Orchard” and is available in fine and medium widths. A converter is included with each fountain pen. It is also accompanied by a bookmark showing a detail of the painting.

The ancient plum tree that was the subject of the original print had the poetic nickname of “the sleeping dragon plum tree”. Van Gogh accurately reproduced the composition with more intense colors replacing the black and grey of Hiroshige’s tree trunk with red and blue tones. He also added the two orange borders with Japanese characters for a decorative and exotic effect.

Note: We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same.
