The Church at Auvers

Vincent van Gogh lived his last 70 days in Auvers-sur-Oise. Facing a crossroads, at the peak of his artistic mastery, but at the lowest of his mental health. The artwork Church at Auvers expresses the paradoxes and contradictions that torment him. The building appears distorted, the shadows are discordant, the canvas reveals daylight below, while night envelops the top of the church. A divine force seems to emanate from the sky and the stained glass windows. The paths that present themselves raise deep questions, choosing between true and false, good and evil, or even between life and death?
