This is a Dutch reform little church in Nuenen, The Netherlands. I was there last August this year and took some photographs of the church and other sceneries in the city. The building was founded in 1824; and the father of Vincent van Gogh was a pastor here from 1882-1885. Vincent had himself painted this building more than once. Check http://www.nuenen.nl/ for more on the history of the city and van Gogh family. While entering the city, a visitor will be welcome by a board with a written ad "van Gogh village." Indeed if a visitor will follow the designated 'walking path,' he/she will see not only green sceneries but also places where Vincent painted some of his famous paintings. See below some photos from the city.
Lovely watercolour of the church - and I can see you painting another soon, of that windmill!
ReplyDeleteMooi schilderij, Cora! Leuk om die informatie over Nuenen te lezen, dat wist ik niet. Ik ben het met Pat eens: die foto met de molen is erg schilderachtig!
ReplyDeleteHello Pat and Judy,
ReplyDeleteYes I'm going to paint one of these days that windmill surrounded by sunflowers. I have another better picture than that one above. Thank you for your nice comments.
I love paintings from other countries. I don't travel so it's always interesting to see these. Yes, the windmill would be a good choice. great photo.. BJ
