Marc Chagall (1887-1985), born Moishe Shagal, was a Russian-French Draftsman, Painter, and Printmaker.

Constantly on the move throughout the major European cities, this notable figure developed a unique aesthetic profoundly infused by the Jewish folk culture while being influenced by Fauvism, Symbolism, and Cubism.


An early modernist, he was associated with the École de Paris, as well as several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Chagall’s stained glass artistry is his seamless blend of traditional religious motifs with a modern artistic language.

Chagall’s stained glass windows are characterized by their intricate details and harmonious interplay of colors.


They often feature scenes of love, hope, and spirituality, rendered with a poetic sensitivity that touches the soul of the beholder.

His ability to convey profound emotions through the use of ethereal imagery is what sets his windows apart and endows them with a timeless appeal.

He was so amazing in so many fields — but the first Chagall I’d ever heard of/seen is the Chagall Windows in Chicago.

I so agree! I knew he did stained glass windows but I limited my knowledge to the one in Chicago and the one at the United Nations. I so love discovering new places that have been there forever!

I so appreciate your words. He is a master artist in a variety of fields — it was hard to pick just one to focus on. But then again, I ~do~ love stained glass….
