Descrizione
A fine art print capturing the luminous blue stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall for the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital synagogue.
Marc Chagall produced these stained glass windows for the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital synagogue in Jerusalem. The commission consists of twelve windows, each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The visual language employed here is characteristic of Chagall, featuring a dreamlike synthesis of biblical narrative, animal forms, and celestial bodies. The composition relies heavily on a deep, saturated blue palette, which serves to unify the architectural space while creating an immersive environment for the viewer.
Chagall worked in collaboration with the master glassmaker Charles Marq to achieve the specific luminosity required for the project. The glass panels utilise a complex layering technique, allowing light to filter through varying densities of colour. This process results in a shifting appearance as the sun moves across the sky, altering the perception of the figures and symbols embedded within the glass. The imagery includes motifs such as fish, birds, and floral elements, which float across the panels in a non-linear fashion. These elements are not merely decorative, as they function as symbolic representations of the blessings bestowed upon the tribes by Jacob and Moses.
By integrating these windows into a functional synagogue, Chagall transformed the interior into a space defined by light and colour. The windows do not rely on traditional perspective, opting instead for a flattened, symbolic arrangement that encourages contemplation. The blue tones dominate the visual field, providing a sense of calm and spiritual depth. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to adapt his painterly style to the medium of stained glass, maintaining his signature fluidity while respecting the structural requirements of the architectural setting. The result is a cohesive installation that remains one of the most recognised examples of twentieth-century religious art.

The Creation of the World - Marc Chagall
Artist Biography
Marc Chagall
He was born Moishe Shagal in 1887, in the Pale of Settlement, the restricted zone where Jews were permitted to live in the Russian Empire. His father worked at a herring warehouse. The family was devout Hasidic. After studying in St Petersburg, he went to Paris in 1911 and immersed himself in the Fauvists and Cubists, absorbing their formal innovations without abandoning the narrative imagery of his childhood. The colour and the dreamlike floating figures were already there in Vitebsk. Paris gave him the structure.
He met Bella Rosenfeld, the daughter of a wealthy Vitebsk jeweller, and married her in 1915. She became his primary subject for the next three decades. The flying lovers that recur across his work, gravity-defying couples suspended above rooftops and villages, began with Bella. When she died of a streptococcal infection in New York in September 1944, penicillin existed but the entire supply was reserved for soldiers. He stopped painting for nine months. He continued to paint her memory for the remaining forty-one years of his life.
Picasso once said that when Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is. The friendship ended at a dinner at Chagall's home in 1964. Picasso asked when he was going back to Russia. Chagall replied: after you, I hear you are greatly loved there but not your work. They never spoke again.
His late stained glass commissions are among the strongest work of his final decades: the Peace Window at the United Nations, the twelve windows representing the Tribes of Israel at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem, and windows at Metz Cathedral. In 1964, Andre Malraux commissioned him to paint the ceiling of the Paris Opera, a decision that provoked fury from critics who objected to a Russian-born Jewish artist working inside a French Baroque monument. He lived to ninety-seven.
