Marc Chagall was born near Vitebsk in 1887 and died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence in 1985. After years of study in Saint Petersburg, he lived intermittently in Paris from 1910, returned to Russia during the First World War, and emigrated to the USA in 1941; from 1948 he lived in the South of France, and from 1966 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. His pictorial world draws from memories of Vitebsk, Jewish tradition, biblical motifs, and the circus. In addition to painting, he created an extensive graphic body of work with around 1,100 lithographs as well as series of etchings for the Bible and La Fontaine's Fables.
In the collection: “Saint Paul de Vence”, “Das Dorf” (The Village), “Les Anemones”.
