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. This depicts a scene from Exodus, where Moses strikes a rock with his staff and the divine presence, manifested by the fantastic radiance of the sun behind Moses, allows the miracle of the water flowing in abundance to a cheering crowd.
