Les fiancés à l’horloge 1966

"Les fiancés à l’horloge" (1966) by Marc Chagall is a vibrant depiction of a couple embracing in front of a clock, symbolizing the passage of time and the enduring nature of love. The painting showcases Chagall's signature style, with its whimsical figures, bold colors, and dreamlike imagery. The use of a red rooster as a symbol of fertility, a recurring motif in his work, adds to the sense of joyful celebration. A small town scene in the background evokes Chagall's Jewish heritage and his nostalgia for his native Vitebsk. The use of bright blues, greens, and reds contribute to the painting's overall vibrancy and evocative nature.
