About the piece
Painted circa 1890 by Jean-Jacques Henner, this work depicts the clocher de Bernwiller in Alsace. The composition utilizes a tonalist approach, contrasting a pale, overcast sky against the deep shadows of the foreground and trees to create a sense of serene, contemplative isolation.
