Marc Chagall
La Baie des Anges (The Bay of Angels), 1962
Original Color Lithograph Poster • Hand-Signed
Created in 1962, La Baie des Anges is one of Marc Chagall’s most recognizable images inspired by Nice and the French Riviera. Printed by Atelier Mourlot in Paris and published by the French National Tourist Office, the composition features a floating mermaid carrying a bouquet of flowers above the coastline of Nice, rendered in Chagall’s characteristic luminous blue palette.
This example is hand-signed and dated “1962” by the artist. The work is presented in a custom frame with archival matting that conceals the poster text, emphasizing the image itself. A mat cutout in the lower right corner reveals the artist’s signature and date.
