About Project of vitrage for the north apse of the cathedral of Metz

The artwork titled “Project of vitrage for the north apse of the cathedral of Metz” was created by Marc Chagall in 1958 in France. This piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls within the design genre.

The artwork depicts a proposed design for stained glass windows intended for the north apse of the Metz Cathedral. It features a composition divided into three sections, each highlighting distinct, vibrant figures and scenes. The colors used are predominantly blues, reds, purples, and greens, creating an ethereal and whimsical aesthetic that is typical of Chagall’s style. Above the three main sections, there are additional small designs and motifs, contributing to the intricate and thoughtful planning of the stained glass project. The work captures both the spiritual essence and the artistic ingenuity characteristic of Chagall’s approach to ecclesiastical art.
