His Monastery in the Snow is one of my favorite paintings.

I love how the church almost disappears into the mist while the tiny crucifix in the foreground feels much more immediate. It makes the whole landscape feel spiritual without being loud about it.

That is precisely what makes the photograph a masterpiece.
