Comparison of Van Gogh's Early Paintings with those after being influenced by Impressionism
Before: • · The Old Church at Nuenen is painted in dark mudding colors (as was standard for Gogh's Early Paintings) · • The painting is a literal representation of the church, sky and surroundings. · • The use of color is very minimal. • The dark church and light sky keep the eye focused on the building.
After: • · The Church at Auvers is painted in the bright colors of the impressionist and post impressionists · • The free forming lines cause the subject (the church) to become wavy and appear to be bending or melting. · • The vivid color schemes move the onlookers eyes around the painting.
