In 1962, Marc Chagall created the Jerusalem Windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Israel’s first hospital. This commission was Chagall’s first work with the medium glass. Each window symbolizes one of the tribes of Israel. In 1964, Chagall reproduced the window designs as the lithographs ‘Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem’ and Charles Sorlier printed them at the Atelier Mourlot.

Marc Chagall (1887-1985)
The Russian-French painter Marc Chagall is renowned for his biblical motifs. He used the same, recurring symbols in his painted and printed works, as well as in his mosaics and in the windows and stage-sets designed by him. As one of the most important artists of the 20th Century the ‘painter-poet’ gave Expressionism a new character. After his first education at private art schools in Saint Petersburg he went to Paris in 1910 where he was involved in the avant-garde art scene. Apart from that, he was also inspired by visits to the salons, exhibitions and museums of this exciting city. After the First World War which Chagall spent in Russia he went to Berlin and later returned to Paris. Even after he had immigrated to America in 1941 he returned to his ‘ville lumière’ Paris in 1948. In his lifetime Marc Chagall received many commissions whose preparation and execution took him around the world. Already during his lifetime he was honored with numerous international exhibitions, retrospectives and art prizes. (nlu)
