Marc Chagall was a Russian-French artist known for his richly imaginative paintings and stained glass windows, which blend elements of fantasy, folklore, and religious symbolism. Born in 1887 in Vitebsk, now in Belarus, he moved to France in 1923, where he became associated with the School of Paris. His personal experiences, including his time in exile in the United States during World War II, influenced his later works. Some of his most celebrated stained glass work includes the windows at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, the Peace Window at the United Nations, and the windows in Reims and Metz cathedrals in France. He passed away in 1985.
