Marc Chagall
L’atelier de Paris (gouache, 1969)

Chagall’s work embodies a deep passion for life. He took inspiration from his Belarusian background, employing symbolic motifs and folk art – often with Biblical themes. His work encompassed stained glass windows and tapestries, in addition to his paintings and etchings.
