Visconti Van Gogh Fountain Pen Flowering Plum Orchard Limited Edition

Visconti Van Gogh Flowering Plum Orchard is a limited edition fountain pen inspired by the painting “Flowering Plum Orchard”, an opera made in 1887 from a Japanese print by Hiroshige.

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.

The pen has yellow gold plated metal fittings which add light to the red, green and brown acrylic resin. The fountain pen kit comes with a new red ink called “Flowering Plum Orchard“ and a bookmark showing a detail of the painting.
