The Church at Auvers
Vincent van Gogh (1890)
In The Church at Auvers, Vincent van Gogh turns a modest Gothic church into a <strong>restless, living form</strong> against a <strong>cobalt sky</strong>. Two forked paths, a lone passerby, and windows sunk in <strong>ultramarine shadow</strong> stage a tension between the glowing world outside and the dim, unresponsive building within <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>.
