Church bells appear against a blue background in this 1914 oil painting by Ilmari Aalto. The composition is structured with intersecting lines and geometric forms, fragmenting the image into overlapping planes. The bells are rendered in brown and grey tones, with highlights of white and purple, set within a framework of blue and green that suggests architectural or window-like elements.

The brushwork is visible and energetic, contributing to the sense of movement and abstraction. Painted in Finland during the early 20th century, this work reflects the influence of Cubism and modernist experimentation that was spreading across Europe at the time. Ilmari Aalto was active during a period of significant artistic change, and this painting demonstrates an engagement with contemporary approaches to form and color. It belongs to the Finnish National Gallery (Ateneum) in Helsinki.
