About This Work

Vue sur Notre Dame — "View of Notre Dame" — served as the cover image for Derrière le Miroir No. 246, the final Chagall-dedicated issue of Maeght's celebrated artist review. As the portfolio's cover, it holds a particular distinction within the series: a sweeping, lyrical vision of Paris rendered in Chagall's unmistakable hand, where the cathedral floats dreamlike above the Seine, suffused in the blues and golds that defined his late palette.

Paris was a constant presence in Chagall's imagination — the city where he first arrived as a young painter from Vitebsk, and where his international reputation was forged. Notre Dame recurs across his work as both landmark and symbol, a monument to beauty and transcendence that resonated deeply with his spiritual sensibility.

Published by Maeght Éditeur, Paris, 1981. Issued as the cover of Derrière le Miroir No. 246 — one of the most significant late documents of Chagall's printed work, and among the final issues of the series to feature his contributions.
