Marc Chagall’s Quai de Bercy hand-signed lithograph in colors. This romantic composition is a beautiful and evocative work of art depicting a nighttime bird’s eye view scene looking down at the Bercy Bridge over the Seine River. The city of Paris in the background provides a sense of context and helps ground the work in reality. The work was created in 1954 and is signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right margin.
Chagall’s use of color and light is one of the work’s most striking aspects, adding to the overall sense of vibrancy and whimsy. Quai de Bercy is a unique and evocative work of art that captures the essence of Marc Chagall’s work. The work is a celebration of color, movement, and life, and it is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another world in a dreamlike state.
