Chagall. Testimone del suo tempo

Overview

At the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, an exhibition of surprising emotional intensity that invites the public to immerse themselves in the poetic universe of one of the most important and beloved masters of 20th century art.

An extraordinary journey that reveals how Marc Chagall (Vitebsk, 1887 - Saint-Paul de Vence, 1985), universally known for his floating figures and colourful, enchanted atmospheres, was able to keep alive the memory of his homeland, tradition and affection, always projecting them towards new expressive horizons.

Through 200 works, including paintings, drawings and engravings, and two immersive rooms that allow visitors to admire some of his monumental creations in an engaging and spectacular dimension, the exhibition highlights the profound humanity of the work of Chagall, a plural artist, visionary and witness of his time, a singer of beauty and guardian of memory. 

Split faces, multiplying profiles, mirroring portraits: through the theme of the double, he reveals his extraordinary ability to capture the duality of human existence. And again, flying lovers, talking animals, explosive bouquets become, transcending the visible, universal metaphors. Through his poetic gaze, Chagall transforms personal experience into shared reflection, revealing how behind the apparent simplicity of his creations lie themes that touch every human being: identity, exile, spirituality and joie de vivre.
