Introduction

 

Chagall created murals and stained glass for churches as well as painting prints. In 1959, he created 12 stained glass windows to decorate the Jewish synagogue in Jerusalem, and to commemorate this, he published a collection of his works, Jerusalem Windows, in 1962, which included 14 original lithograph prints. This collection includes paintings of the stories of the 12 tribes of ancient Judaism, the same as the 12 stained glass windows in the churches, as well as two other original lithograph prints. This work is a framed version of the original lithograph prints from the collection Jerusalem Windows.
