A Visconti Van Gogh fountain pen with Japanese influence
Visconti's newest Van Gogh pen design draws inspiration from one of The Master’s most treasured and iconic paintings, the
Japonaiserie Oiran. Van Gogh adopted Japanese visual inventions in his own work after collecting hundreds of prints and canvases in the early 1880s. He liked the unusual spatial effects, the expanses of strong color, the everyday objects and details from nature, and, of course, the exotic and joyful atmosphere. The Visconti Oiran collection is made from natural resin, brought to life by blue, purple, red and green hues to recreate Van Gogh’s technique, emotion and mood portrayed in this remarkable painting. The fountain pen nib is made from steel with a vermeil plating and engraved with Van Gogh's signature. Fine or Medium.
