Partially hidden behind a row of coconut trees, the afternoon sun shines on this red brick church. Although appearing holy and solemn, it has not lost its benevolence or approachability. The subject of this painting, this red brick church building, is in the center. The contours of this building and the shade trees masterfully form a pyramid-like shape. This enhances the dignified and benevolent atmosphere of this scene. Although this painting is of a church, it is not intended to preach religious concepts. Rather it is a depiction of an architectural landscape, and a beautiful masterpiece.
