Marc Chagall lithograph inspired by The Magic Flute (1971)

This original lithograph by Marc Chagall was created as a stage design background for the final scene of Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute”. Executed in 1971, the work reflects Chagall’s deep engagement with music, theatre, and poetic symbolism.

The composition features recurring Chagall motifs — floating figures, lyrical movement, and vibrant color — translating Mozart’s operatic world into a visual language. The lithograph belongs to Chagall’s scenographic projects developed between 1966 and 1967 and was later printed for the renowned art publication “Derrière le Miroir”.

Printed in color on vélin paper, the work demonstrates Chagall’s mastery of lithography and his ability to merge fine art with theatrical imagination. This piece stands as a collectible example of Chagall’s late graphic work, connecting modern art, opera, and stage design.
