The Church at Auvers is an oil painting created by Vincent van Gogh in June 1890, which now hangs in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
The Church at Auvers – along with other canvases such as The Town Hall at Auvers and several paintings of small houses with thatched roofs – is reminiscent of scenes from the northern landscapes of his childhood and youth. A certain nostalgia for the north had already been apparent in his last weeks at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence: in a letter written a couple of weeks before his departure, he wrote “While I was ill I nevertheless did some little canvases from memory which you will see later, memories of the North”
