Soutine depicts a church swallowed up by a turbulent southern French landscape. While the building's belltower stands erect, the main vessel stretches at an alarming angle across roiling hills crackling with acidic pinks, yellows, and purples. A black, leafless tree seems to claw at the scene. Soutine's passionately distorted image recalls the Byzantine tradition of landscape painting, as seen in the Post-Byzantine Nativity in Room 15.
