The artwork titled “Lovers over Sant Paul” by Marc Chagall, created in 1970 at Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is an oil painting on canvas. Measuring 145 x 130 cm, this genre painting belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a dreamy, ethereal scene is depicted, leveraging a palette dominated by blues, reds, and greens. A couple hovers gracefully above a landscape, enveloped in a surreal atmosphere, suggestive of a floating or spiritual embrace, tinged with ghostly blue hues that blend into the sky. To the left, a vibrant bouquet with a stunning array of flowers stands against a backdrop of red, evoking a strong emotional contrast to the serene blue sky and the gently merging mist-like forms of the lovers. A radiant sun glows softly in the upper left corner, providing a sense of warmth and highlighting the romantic tone of the piece. The combination of vibrant colors and dreamlike imagery evokes the transcendent, emotional depth typical of Chagall’s surrealist works, imbuing the scene with an almost whimsical yet poignant quality.
