Marc Chagall Fiancés dans le ciel de Nice (Fiancés in the Sky at Nice) from Nice and The Côte d’Azur, 1967 is one of twelve from the Nice & the Côte d'Azur series. Bright and joyful, the colors in this work are boldly placed with large areas of red, green, blue, orange, and yellow tones. Capturing our attention are two figures on the front of the picture, the male and female in bridal dress floats above the Mediterranean in a gentle embrace. Above them flies a watchful green bird, a symbol of their new family and fertility. Surrounded by an explosive bouquet of bright and fresh flowers, the couple is unaffected by their lavish surroundings as they focus intently on one another, enjoying the beginning of their new lives together. Beautifully colored and full of expression, this work is a prime example of Chagall's sensitive and romantic style. Dreamlike in quality, this exquisite piece utilizes the subtle power of color and the gentle imagery of a couple surrounded by the beautiful Mediterranean coast, bright and lively flowers, and a watchful bird.
