Artwork Replica Church at Auvers, The by Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890, Netherlands) | WahooArt.com

Vincent Van Gogh (i) - Oil (i) - Post-Impressionism (i) Painted by Van Gogh in 1890. The Church at Auvers along with other several paintings of small houses with thatched roofs - are reminiscent of scenes from the northern landscapes of his childhood and youth. A certain nostalgia for the north had already been apparent in his last weeks at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The "simple deep blue" was also used in Portrait of Adeline Ravoux, painted in the same short period in Auvers-sur-Oise. The foreground of The Church at Auvers is brightly lit by the sun, but the church itself sits in its own shadow, and neither reflects nor emanates any light of its own.
