Chagall between war and peace takes you on a journey through time
Chagall, described as being an early modernist, was born in 1887 in Russia's Vitebsk. This innovative Jewish artist lived for almost a century. During his lifetime he experienced many startling events, including 2 world wars. The world wars and persecution of Jewish people heavily influenced the narratives in his works, as did his Jewish roots and childhood experiences. Chagall's artistic style was partly inspired by Cubism, Surrealism and Suprematism, although the love of his wife Bella and hometown childhood experiences, remained common themes in his art, rendering his approach quite unique.
The Museum of Luxembourg is the perfect venue for Chagall's exhibition. Built between 1615 and 1630, this site was the first museum to open its doors to the general public, in 1750. The museum has featured works from the greats, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt and is recognised as being prestigious. The Luxembourg gardens are idyllic, and walking through the park sets the scene for a day of appreciation all things beautiful.
