Mogens Ballin painted his first landscapes in the north of his homeland, Denmark. He arrived in Paris in 1890 with a letter of recommendation from his French teacher in Copenhagen, Mette Gauguin, addressed to Camille Pissarro. Ballin met Jan Verkade (1868-1946) at the Paris banquet in honour of Gauguin, and the two formed a lasting friendship. It was Verkade who introduced him to the Nabis, and he followed Paul Serusier’s advice to visit Pont-Aven and Huelgoat. In this modestly-sized work, Ballin uses dark outlines and a limited palette of softened tones to render simplified forms in the Pont-Aven School style. A white church lights up the centre of the painting, which represents the Morbihan town of Saint-Nolff where Ballin stayed with Verkade in the summer of 1892.
