The artwork, titled “Chapel du Saillant,” was created by Marc Chagall in 1981 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 26 x 25 cm.
In the artwork, Chagall employs a circular composition that features vibrant floral arrangements within two vases, rendered with a remarkable use of color. The background, suffused with light blues and whites, hints at an ethereal sky, illuminated by a sun in the upper right quadrant. A bird flying near the sun subtly captures the attention, adding a whimsical element to the piece. The informal, almost childlike strokes characteristic of the Naïve Art movement imbue the artwork with a sense of simplicity and purity. The interplay of colors, featuring predominately reds, greens, blues, and yellows, captures the buoyant and dreamlike quality often found in Chagall’s works.
