The museum was created during the lifetime of the artist, with the support of the Minister of Culture André Malraux, and inaugurated in 1973. It houses the series of seventeen paintings illustrating the biblical message, painted by Chagall and offered to the French State in 1966. Later the museum was expanded to secular works. This is a color lithograph featuring some of his dream-like, folkloric or naive themes. (Source: WikiArt [website]; https://www.wikiart. org/)
