Tadeusz Makowski created this landscape with a church sometime in the early 20th century, and it feels like he mixed his paints with mist. The painting's surface is like a memory, soft and a little blurry. Look at the church, how it rises, pale and quiet. The strokes around it aren't trying to be neat; they're more like feelings made visible. The colors are muted, like they've been sitting in the sun too long, all gentle greens and grays that make you think of a quiet afternoon. Notice the road leading up to the town. It’s not a hard line, more of an invitation. That little path is so inviting, reminding me a bit of Bonnard, who also knew how to turn the everyday into something dreamy. Makowski isn’t just showing us a place; he’s sharing a feeling, a moment of peace. It’s a reminder that sometimes, art is about letting go of what you see and diving into how it makes you feel.
