【Comment】
Through the rich, full and rich decorative colors, to fully show the texture of objects, real things are painting a vivid picture of one of the most basic features. 30 years from the 19th century began, there have been massive in the western countryside, the theme of the church paintings. Auction painting created in about 1860, churches and pastoral scenery integrated, relatively rare.

Even more unusual is that seemingly quiet but hidden behind the picture great mystery: the screen behind the church tower clock clock tray, hide a mechanical clock in the slightest, the whole point of time, and have eight days power reserve . However, as years have been very old, hidden in the painting on the back of the watch device requires a comprehensive maintenance. However, this seems to have no impact on this rare "painting bell" to high turnover. Today, people do not lack work, but art.
