MARC CHAGALL ‘A Midi l'Ete’, from Daphnis and Chloë (M. 329; see C. books 46). Lithograph in colors, 1961, on Arches wove paper, from the signed edition (there was also an unsigned edition of 250), in good age appropriate condition. The unframed dimensions are approx. 13 x 9 inches.
Instilled with romance and intrigue, Marc Chagall’s stunning color lithograph series Daphnis and Chloe is based on the ancient pastoral tale of Daphnis and Chloe, which captures the triumphs and tragedies of young love. Eloquently composed by the Greek poet Longus in the second century A.D., this remarkable tale follows the lives of Daphnis and Chloe as they journey on a path towards true love and happiness. Set on the Isle of Lesbos, Daphnis and Chloe recounts the tale of two orphaned infants who are discovered, two years apart, on a mountainside. They are draped in luxurious garments and surrounded by tokens of wealth, suggesting that they may be of noble birth. A goatherd and a shepherd respectively find Daphnis and Chloe and raise them as their own children. Daphnis and Chloe grow up tending their parents’ flocks on the rolling hills and green pastures of the Grecian countryside, unaware of each other’s existence until Eros, the god of Love, brings them together
Overwhelmed by their sudden desire for one another and naive in the ways of love, Daphnis and Chloe endure countless trials and tribulations before fulfilling their true fate as soul mates and lovers. Throughout the novel, Chloe is courted by various suitors, two of whom, Dorcon and Lampis, attempt to abduct her. She is also carried off by raiders from a nearby city and saved by the intervention of the god Pan. Meanwhile, Daphnis faces his own hardships. He falls into a pit, is abducted by pirates, and fends off innumerous foes. In the end, Daphnis and Chloe reunite, meet their true birth parents, get married, and live out their days peacefully in the lush Greek countryside. A rich source of artistic inspiration, Daphnis and Chloe is a timeless romance. Daphnis and Chloe’s love survives abduction, piracy, war, and predatory suitors, proving that true love conquers all
Marc Chagall’s Daphnis and Chloe was commissioned by Teriade in 1956 to illustrate the ancient pastoral romance of Daphnis and Chloe. Chagall spent the next five years of his life, from 1956-1961, creating 42 color lithographs to visually narrate this classic tale. Marc Chagall’s Daphnis and Chloe coincides with Chagall’s second marriage to Valentina (Vava) Brodsky at a time of new beginnings and new romance for Chagall. On the newlyweds’ honeymoon to Greece, where they visited Delphi, Athens, and Poros, Chagall gathered inspiration for this series of color lithographs.
Both technically and aesthetically, Marc Chagall’s Daphnis and Chloe series is a resounding achievement. Each stunning Chagall color lithograph within this series was printed with 20-25 individual colors. From a technical standpoint, separately pulling 20-25 colors per print requires a vast amount of patience and precision. From an aesthetic viewpoint, the incorporation of a 20-25 vibrant colors within each Chagall lithograph inspires awe and brings each work to life.
Chagall’s Daphnis and Chloe is best known for Chagall’s use of color and his romantic, whimsical imagery. Renowned as a master of color, Chagall’s impressive skill shines through in these exquisite color lithographs. Reflective of his painterly style and rich color palette, Chagall’s Daphnis and Chloe is often considered one of his most important graphic series..

Marc Chagall (July 7, 1887 – March 28, 1985 France) Marc Chagall’s poetic, figurative style made him one of most popular modern artists, while his long life and varied output made him one of the most internationally recognized. While many of his peers pursued ambitious experiments that led often to abstraction, Chagall’s distinction lies in his steady faith in the power of figurative art, one that he maintained despite absorbing ideas from Fauvism and Cubism. Born in Russia, Chagall moved to France in 1910 and became a prominent figure within the so-called Ecole de Paris. Later he spent time in the United States and the Middle East, travels which reaffirmed his self-image as an archetypal ‘wandering Jew.’
Marc Chagall’s influence is as vast as the number of styles he assimilated to create his work. Although never completely aligning himself with any single movement, he interwove many of the visual elements of Cubism, Fauvism, Symbolism and Surrealism into his lyrically emotional aesthetic of Jewish folklore, dream-like pastorals, and Russian life. In this sense, Chagall’s legacy reveals an artistic style that is both entirely his own and a rich amalgam of prevailing Modern art disciplines. Chagall is also, much like Picasso, a prime example of a modern artist who mastered multiple media, including painting in oil and gouache, watercolor, murals, ceramics, etching, drawing, theater and costume design, and stained-glass work.
