The Square also Behind the Church, 1916, oil on canvas. Painting by Lyonel Feininger. The square adjoining the City Church in Weimar is the subject of this picture. Feininger knew Weimar from pre-war visits but needed distance from location and in time for a vision to grow in his mind. His technique of the precise overlapping and interlocking of simplified architectural forms, as cubes and triangles illuminated with different sources of light; and the application of rich and subtle gradations of colour reveals a new and strange beauty to the vast space.
