This church, built in the 13th century in the early Gothic style, flanked by two Romanesque chapels, became under the painter\u27s brush a flamboyant monument on the verge of dislocating itself from the ground and from the two paths that seem to be clasping it like torrents of lava or mud. If one compares this painting with Claude Monet\u27s paintings of the cathedral in Rouen, painted shortly afterwards, one can measure how different Van Gogh\u27s approach was from that of the impressionists. Unlike Monet, he did not try to render the impression of the play of light on the monument.https:/...
