Visconti Van Gogh Fountain Pen - Wheatfield with Crows
Made from natural resin uniquely mixed to represent palettes of oil paint, this Visconti Van Gogh series is inspired by the artist's color and technique. Each pen represents a specific Van Gogh painting. The pen utilizes Visconti's eighteen-faceted design, with the many edges enhancing its vivid colors. This Wheatfield with Crows inspired blue fountain pen features a gold-plated stainless steel nib. A converter is included, and it also accepts standard international short cartridges.
It comes in a special gift box that includes a matching bottle of a new Visconti cobalt blue ink. This special edition is dated and numbered (3500 pieces in total), and the nib is unobtrusively and elegantly engraved with the artist's name.
Wheatfield with Crows is one of Van Gogh's most famous paintings and can be admired at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
Blue and yellow, a touch of black. These are not only the main colors of the painting, but also the feelings that we perceive. Looking at the artist's works, impressions become colored, chromatic combinations stir up emotions that find no other name except the name of the color itself. Blue and yellow come to life; they are no longer complements but become the true, compelling subject of the work. This combination of pigments arouses beautiful feelings, which is what Visconti has in mind as they design pens that pay tribute to this great painter of the 1900's.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, expect some variation in the pattern from what you see here.
Note: Visconti has been in the process of changing the design on the Van Gogh nib as well as the font featured on the clip. Yours may vary from what is pictured here.

Customer Reviews
She absolutely loves it!
Great pen! Writes a little heavy but that’s what I read in the reviews and one thing I like about it. Quick shipping and nice website.
Simply gorgeous pen, nice weight, great nib, no complaints here. Simply a beauty, get it if you can and enjoy it, you only live once, enjoy it
I am enjoying the pen and ink.
When this pen works, it writes very nicely. It's smooth and wet - exactly what I enjoy and hoped for. It's extremely inconsistent though. I had to very thoroughly clean it out of the box to get the ink flowing decently, but even then, it would take a while to start and randomly stop very frequently. Online research shows QC on these is very poor, so you either get a great pen or a dud. The quality otherwise is top notch and the pen is beautiful and feels great.
