Marc Chagall, a French-Russian painter, is one of the undisputed masters of modern art, famous for his dreamlike works that blend Jewish folklore, biblical imagination, and memories of his native Russia. Born in 1887 in Vitebsk, he experienced the major artistic movements of the 20th century, always bringing a personal and poetic touch that is recognizable above all else. His paintings, often populated by floating figures and fantastical animals, depict a world where reality and fantasy meet.

Chagall also marked the art world with his monumental works, such as his stained glass windows and frescoes for public buildings and places of worship, affirming his narrative and colorful style.
