    Is the church as tiny as it looks in the painting?

    Yes it is. It was built for the small Protestant community in what is traditionally a Catholic area, so there was no need for a big building. Van Gogh senior was a minister at the church.
    The church is charming, even cute, and set amongst the trees in a quiet part of Nuenen.

    How splendid! So glad the paintings are home and relatively uninjured. (Of course, were it those blasted sunflowers...)

    Yesterday on the news one of the guys who stole the paintings said he could easily steal the sunflowers, since they were close to a vulnerable part of the museum.
