Painted in 1924 after his return to Paris, Marc Chagall’s ‘Au-dessus de la ville’ was inspired by the love of his life, Bella Rosenfeld, the composition captures the affections of their nearly thirty-year marriage.

After living apart for years while Bella studied literature in Moscow and Chagall pursued his artistic training in Paris, the couple began their lives together in Russia, wedding in July of 1915. It was during these early years of marital bliss that the motif of the couple in flight became firmly established in Chagall’s work.

Completed in 1924 after the Chagalls relocated to Paris, ‘Au-dessus de la ville’ is one of the finest paintings from this period and captures the key motifs of reverie, nostalgia and romance which would define the artist’s work until his final days.

Held in the same private collection for nearly forty years, the work comes to auction for the very first time in the Modern Evening Auction at #SothebysNewYork on 13 November, presented in partnership with @samsungus. #SothebysModern #MarcChagall
