The entrance to Cassis, also called The belfry at Cassis is a 1909 unspecified by Unknown, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a small town framed by two tall, dark stone towers. Beyond them, a church with a simple bell tower sits in the center, surrounded by low buildings and a few palm trees. The sky is mostly dark, but the scene is lit from the side, making some areas glow while others stay shadowy. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the painting a rough, sketchy feel. The contrast between light and dark helps the church stand out against the quiet town. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
