The Church at Auvers

THE CHURCH AT AUVERS
By: Vincent Van Gogh

   
 This painting is the Church at Auvers, it was created in June 1890 by Vincent Van Gogh. It was done with oils. Vincent painted this from his memories of his childhood and youth. He always remembered his hometown even when he was ill, he loved to draw/paint things that gave him a nostalgic feeling. This painting has a an eeriness to it, the Church looks very daunting. The dark purple sky gives the painting a certain scariness to it that catches the viewers eye. I also liked how he kept the grass and nature light with colors. This is a fascinating painting, i really enjoyed viewing and reading about this painting.
