"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is". View Artist Collection

About The Canopy (Le Baldaquin) Marc Chagall Modernism Painting
In Le baldaquin, Marc Chagall shows a couple during their wedding, with the chuppah, a canopy held above the bride and groom during the Jewish marriage ceremony, still in the background, one of its bearers leaning against a pole. A bouquet lies on the ground; a winged violinist plays in the background, wearing harlequin-like trousers, while a goat appears to float through the sky adding a discreet note of oneiric magic to the scene.Marriage was one of Chagall's most favoured themes and features in a number of his celebrated compositions, often reflecting his own memories of life in Vitebsk and his own wedding to Bella, his great love, a constant source of inspiration to him throughout his career. Nostalgia for the old country, for the Russia he had now twice abandoned, both before and after the Revolution, infused his pictures as he cast his mind back to life there, in what is now Belarus. In pictures such as Le baldaquin, Chagall's Jewish sense of identity is brought to the fore in this celebration of both romance and ritual.About the Posters
