THE CHURCH AT AUVERS

Vincent van Gogh • 1890 • Oil on canvas

The Church at Auvers by Van Gogh

Painted just a few weeks before his passing, this one is weirdly peaceful. The church reflects sunlight, but Van Gogh had a very complicated relationship with religion. The priest at this exact church later refused to hold his funeral — which is just a sad note on a majestic piece.

❝ This church reminds me of something ancient and perfectly preserved in time. ❞
