We are a small Episcopal Church on the banks of the Rappahannock in Port Royal, Virginia. We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Port Royal, the Nandtaughtacund, and we respect and honor with gratitude the land itself, the legacy of the ancestors, and the life of the Rappahannock Tribe. Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

Sower with Setting Sun (After Millet) (1889)

Sower 06

This painting is based on a work by the French painter Jean-François Millet. It depicts a sower in a field, with the sun setting in the background. The colors are muted, with the sky a pale yellow and the field a light brown. The sower is again a lone figure, but he seems more relaxed and contemplative in this painting.
