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 climax to the series of Genesis and Exodus, this picture is bathed in a yellow light significant of the presence of the divine, and illustrates the moment that seals the Covenant with God. The painter respects the prohibition of the representation of God, symbolized, as the Bible says, by two hands coming out of the clouds.
