In Aosta, 120 works explore the relationship between Chagall and the biblical message

The Regional Archaeological Museum of Aosta welcomes from June 20 to October 25, 2026 the exhibition Marc Chagall. Between Poetry and Spirituality, curated by Grégory Couderc, Anne Dopffer and Alberto Fiz. Organized by the Department of Education, Culture and Identity Policies, in collaboration with the Marc Chagall National Museum in Nice, the exhibition dedicated to the creative universe of Marc Chagall will bring together 120 works including paintings, sculptures, gouaches, drawings, engravings, books and ceramics made between 1922 and 1980.

Through a significant selection of works from the collections of the Marc Chagall National Museum, the exhibition aims to highlight the deep connection between spirituality, poetry and artistic creation, a central theme in the artist’s work. “The Bible is the greatest source of poetry of all time. Since childhood I have tried to find its reflection in life and art. The Bible is like a resonance of nature, and I have tried to convey its secret,” Chagall wrote.

The exhibition mainly focuses attention on the poetic dimension of the biblical message and the Song of Songs, while at the same time proposing less investigated avenues of research. Prominent among these is the nucleus devoted toplastic art, with works such as the stone sculptures of Moses and Christ on the Cross, both made between 1952 and 1954. Particular emphasis is also given to Chagall’s work in the field of stained glass, through a series of maquettes that give visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the universe of large-scale creations designed for the Metz Cathedral, the Fraumünster in Zurich and the Hadassah Medical Center Synagogue in Jerusalem.

The exhibition thus aims to combine spectacularity, scientific research and cultural mediation, offering a broad and articulate rereading of the work of one of the most important protagonists of twentieth-century art.
