Leaving
the Church at Neuen
Van Gogh painted
this church many times, near and far, and mostly without people
in the scene. They are all dark and foreboding in his early period.

| Then
come three magnificent landscapes -- all painted at Auvers in 1890 in
the last month's of Vincent's life. They are virtually identically sized
canvases with different bicolor combinations: yellow and green, blue
and green and blue and yellow. They are complemented by sunflowers. |
