"In Bruges. A Church" is a 1904 drawing by Belgian symbolist artist Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921). This work is notable for its depiction of a church interior, characterized by a deep, somber atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of the architecture, contribute to the piece's sense of mystery and spirituality. Khnopff's use of a subtle palette adds to the overall feeling of stillness and contemplation, drawing the viewer into the heart of the church.
