Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall born in 1887 in Liozna, now Belarus, was a pioneering Russian-French artist known for his dreamlike, colorful works that blend folklore, biblical themes, and Eastern European village life. He was the eldest of nine children in a deeply religious Jewish family. Chagall’s artistic journey began in his hometown and later flourished in Paris, where he became a central figure in the avant-garde movement. His creations spanned painting, stained glass, ceramics, and stage design, with notable works including the ceiling of the Paris Opéra and stained glass windows for the UN and the Fraumünster in Zürich. Chagall passed away in 1985 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.
