Van Gogh admired the techniques of Japanese artists. [12]Characteristic features of ukiyo-e prints include their ordinary subject matter, the distinctive cropping of their compositions, bold and assertive outlines, absent or unusual perspective, flat regions of uniform colour, uniform lighting, absence of chiaroscuro, and their emphasis on decorative patterns.
In May 1909 the painting was sold to J.H. de Bois, an art dealer and director of The Hague branch of the C.M. Van Gogh gallery. C.M. van Gogh was Vincent's uncle. After May 1909 the painting was sold to Carl Sternheim (1878–1942), German playwright and art collector of Munich. In 1912 he and his wife moved to La Hulpe, Belgium.

Little is known of van Gogh's activities during the two years he lived with his brother, Theo, in Paris, 1886–1888. The fact that he had painted Sunflowers already is only revealed in the spring of 1889, when Gauguin claimed one of the Arles versions in exchange for studies he had left behind after leaving Arles for Paris.
Therefore, van Gogh's bold choices in colour and brushwork are indicative of his evolving technique as an increasingly innovative, original artist. Stylistically, van Gogh also emulated the Japonisme movement, or the European imitation of traditional Japanese art, in Landscape at Auvers in the Rain. Japanese art was known to appear decorative ...
