On our last trip to France we had a few minutes
before we needed to head to the airport to return home...
I had recently read that Vincent Van Gogh
was buried in the village of
which is about 18 miles from the center of Paris.
All around the village there are reproductions of some of his
famous paintings in front of the actual subject matter...
Here are some more photos of the church portrayed
in Van Gogh's painting entitled
There are many places of interest in this charming village...
I will make sure to visit them on a future trip.
I have been fascinated by the life and death of
Vincent Van Gogh for a while...
there is something about his story that reaches
down into my soul and touches my heart.
If you want to learn more about this intriguing artist
I highly recommend the film Loving Vincent:
Loving Vincent
is a 2017 experimental animated biographical drama film
about the life of painter Vincent van Gogh, and in particular,
the circumstances of his death.
It is the first fully painted animated feature film.
Each of the film's 65,000 frames is an oil painting on canvas,
using the same technique as Van Gogh,
created by a team of over 100 painters.
