Indgangen til Cassis, også kaldet Kirketårnet i Cassis is a 1909 unspecified by Unknown, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a small village nestled in a valley, with a church and a few houses tucked under rolling hills. The colors are soft—pale blues for the sky, earthy browns for the buildings, and a touch of green for the trees and grass. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, almost hurried feel. The artist focused on the church’s tower rising above the rest, making it the clear center of the scene. The hills curve around the village like a natural frame, and the sky is wide and open above. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
