About Chapel du Saillant

The artwork, titled “Chapel du Saillant,” was created by the artist Marc Chagall in 1979 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre of design. The dimensions of the artwork are 27 x 25.6 cm.

This design-oriented composition features two arched panels that appear to mimic the form of stained-glass windows. The left panel depicts a simple, serene landscape with a whimsical arrangement of birds, a crescent moon, and a solitary building surrounded by a scattering of trees. The right panel presents a still life of richly colored flowers in a vase, set against a similarly abstract background with swirling lines and soft color tones. The overall sketchiness and childlike simplicity of the artwork are characteristic of the Naïve Art movement, reflecting a dreamlike quality and a deep sense of innocence and spontaneity.
