Violoniste Bleu

MARC CHAGALL LE VIOLONISTE BLEU OVAL ART MEDAL
Second Medal in the Series “Music in Art”
Very Limited Edition: 75 Gold Medals Only!

The second medal in this beautiful series with color lithographs by famous artists is devoted to the greatest Jewish artist of the 20th Century, Marc Chagall. Much of Chagall’s art brings Jewish music alive. One can almost hear the sweetness and longing of the violin in Le Violoniste Bleu on the face of this medal. On the reverse, in relief, appears King David, the first and greatest Jewish musician, playing his harp. This is a section of a monumental Wall Carpet created by Chagall in 1964 for the Knesset Building in Jerusalem. This exceptional medal is produced with authorization from the Chagall Estate, ADAGP PARIS 2006, engraved on the edge. The first medal in this series was Klezmer and Angels by Yosl Bergner. The Maximum Mintage of the Gold version of this medal was reduced to 75 only. The two additional medals in this series will be Le Fifre by Edouard Manet and Two Girls Playing the Piano by Renoir. Those who purchase the first two medals in the series will receive the last two automatically.
