Description
Venue: Chagall Museum When: Daily; not Tue
Marc Chagall is often referred to as one of the three patriachs of French art, along with Picasso and Matisse. The artist created the Chagall Museum in the 1970s, designed as a thematic display based on scenes from the Bible, intending to provide the public with a serene location in which to contemplate religion.
Chagall depicted biblical scenes on 17 massive canvases, focusing on the human side of each scene, setting his works apart from conservative religious paintings.
Also on display are a large selection of the artist's mosaics, sculptures, tapestries and gouache works.
