Marc Chagall [Lions in Love] 1952 39.5x30.5cm Original Etching Imprinted Signed

Limited to 200 copies

A representative painter of the School of Paris, 1887-1985.

He depicted the love between men and women, the Bible, and the world of mythology as a fairy tale world with diverse and brilliant colors. Landscapes and figures blend together in color, and time and space merge, creating a dreamlike world of painting with an illusory color and atmosphere. You can feel his love for his wife and hometown, as well as a message seeking love and peace.
