Two versions of same subject reunited for first time since 1947 and will be on show for three months.
The reuniting is an undeniably special moment. One is owned by the National Gallery and the other by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and both are among the most popular paintings they own.
Visitors entering Room 46 of the National Gallery will see the London Sunflowers, one of four that Van Gogh made to decorate a bedroom in his "yellow house" in Arles for his visiting friend Paul Gauguin. On its right is one of the three copies that Van Gogh later made.
The differences are both subtle and obvious: the copy is a bit taller for example, because Van Gogh wanted more of a margin at the top. His Vincent signatures are in slightly different places on the pots, to maybe give a better balance, and the colours in the Amsterdam version are more stylised – botanically incorrect but perhaps more interesting.
The series come from Van Gogh's most infamous year – it was 1888 that he had his nervous breakdown, cut off part of his ear and went into an asylum.
