About the piece
Created in 1917, Félix Vallotton’s 'The Church of Souain' is a poignant reflection on the landscape of war. Rather than focusing on chaos, Vallotton uses his signature graphic style and flat planes of color to transform ruins into a structured, almost surreal composition of vibrant yellows and deep greens, characteristic of his later modern landscapes.
