History.
"The Church at Auvers" — along with other canvases such as "The Town Hall at Auvers" and several drawing of small houses with thatched roofs — is reminiscent of scenes
In his final two months at Saint-Rémy van Gogh painted from memory a number of canvases he called "reminisces of the North", harking back to his Dutch roots. The influence of this return to the North continued at Auvers, notably in F789 "The Church at Auvers". He did not, however, repeat his studies of peasant life of the sort he had made in his Nuenen period. His paintings of dwellings at Auvers encompassed a range of social domains.
