The fields around, where the grass of the churchyard ends, beyond the little wall, form a last line against the horizon &#8211; like the horizon of the sea.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this painting Van Gogh showed the church in a state of disrepair and tried to express the declining influence of Christianity.\u00a0 In his letter to his brother he said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd now those ruins tell me how a faith and a religion mouldered away &#8211; strongly founded though they were &#8211; but how the life and the death of the peasants remain forever the same, budding and withering regularly, like the grass and the flowers growing there in that churchyard.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a title=\" Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in
