Description:

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. This series illustrates the books of Genesis, Exodus and the Song of Songs. The Song of Songs brings together five paintings that evoke the famous poem of the Bible. In spite of its carnal dimension, this song of love, which is said to have been written by Solomon, has been incorporated into the biblical canon. The composition has two hills, the one on the right representing Vitebsk, and on the left, Jerusalem. (Source: Chagall Museum [website]; http://en.musees-nat ionaux-alpesmaritime s.fr/chagall/)
