Painting of Notre Dame du lac - Le Thor 20½" x 24"

Dating from the 1900s, this unsigned oil on canvas retains the original frame, and is in unrestored condition. The church is the Notre Dame du Lac in Le Thor.

The village of Le Thor is in Provence. The name comes from 'toro' - as in a bull. The local story goes that a bull drank from a waterhole, on its knees. After digging in this same spot a statue of the virgin was found. The Romanesque Notre Dame du Lac was built on the site in the twelfth century.
