The Church at Auvers was painted in 1890. He wrote about it in a letter to his sister in June of 1890.
He wrote, " I have a larger picture of the village church-an effect in which the building appears to be violet-hued against a sky of simple deep blue colour, pure cobalt; the stained-glass windows appear as the ultramarine blotches, the roof is violet and partly orange. In the foreground some green plants in bloom, and the sand with the pink flow of sunshine in it."
