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 scene from Genesis shows the first alliance between God and the men, with the curve of the rainbow which corresponds to that of Noah's body asleep. Both the fortunes and misfortunes of the Jews, as prophesied by the Bible are shown. Chagall shows that he does not ignore the theories of color that make white the sum of all colors of light by painting the rainbow white.
