Marc Chagall Hand-Pulled Lithograph "Le Dimanche" (Sunday) (1954)
Marc Chagall’s Le Dimanche (1954) is a radiant tribute to Paris — not as it is, but as he saw it in dreams. In this vivid and poetic composition, Chagall invites us to wander through his Paris: from the Pont Neuf in the lower right corner, past the majestic Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, and finally upward to Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur, all unfolding in a fantastical, floating journey through the city of light.
But amidst this vibrant cascade of impressions, it is love that takes center stage — symbolized by the embracing couple at the heart of the composition. Their presence brings warmth and intimacy to a city transformed by memory, imagination, and affection.
