About the Item
This exceptional heliogravure after Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled Daphnis et Lycenion (Daphnis and Lycenion), originates from the acclaimed Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe) suite—one of the artist’s most romantic and visionary bodies of work. Published in 1977 by George Braziller, New York, and printed by Ernst Wartelsteiner, Munich, West Germany, the work captures Chagall’s lyrical color harmonies and dreamlike evocation of Greek mythology and love.
Printed on velin paper, measuring 12.5 x 9.5 inches (31.75 x 24.13 cm), Daphnis et Lycenion (Daphnis and Lycenion) reflects Chagall’s deep connection to the pastoral tale and his enduring fascination with nature and spirituality. A superb choice for collectors of Marc Chagall prints, modern art, and 20th-century illustration, this piece exemplifies the artist’s mastery of color, composition, and poetic symbolism.

Notes:
From the album Daphnis and Chloe. Published by George Braziller, Editeur, New York; printed by Ernst Wartelsteiner, Munich, West Germany, 1977. Excerpted from the album, Published in 1977 © Les Editions Verve, Paris, 1961. For information address the publisher: George Braziller, Inc., One Park Avenue, New York, New York 10016. The George Moore translation of Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), reproduced in this volume, has been drawn from an edition published in 1934 by The Limited Editions Club, Inc. Printed in West Germany.
Publisher’s preface:
When it was suggested to Chagall that he illustrate the fable of Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), he began his preparation by making two trips to Greece. And it is the very essence of the Greek landscape that was absorbed by the artist and then recreated on pages drenched in blue, shimmering with the sunniest yellow, shadowed in palest mauve. Beginning with a pastoral story of young love, Chagall produced fifty-eight original color lithograph pages for a limited edition published in 1961 that has since become priceless. Now, for the first time, an adaptation of Chagall's magnificent illustrations to Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), printed in seven colors and integrated with the charming story, is being made available in an edition which will enable many more people to possess this masterpiece, to be enchanted by the artist's soaring color harmonies and the touching nakedness of bodies evoking the infinite softness of the air on the island of Lesbos.
It has been said of Chagall that he uses only what he finds in a text; he neither adds nor subtracts. The magic in his work consists in his internalizing the story, subjecting it to that "alchemy" which makes each of his books a whole endowed with a life of its own. In Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), a personal dream has been transformed into a universal Eden where the figures seem to float in an atmosphere of infinite happiness whose warmth is all-pervasive. Perhaps the most fitting description of Chagall's vibrantly romantic illustrations comes from the Prologue to Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), which begins: “Whilst hunting in the island of Lesbos I saw in a grove consecrated to the nymphs the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life, a painted carving figuring a human love story in all its joys and tribulations.” Every effort has been made to reproduce this masterwork with exacting fidelity to the beauty of the original lithographs in Chagall's Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe).
About the artist:
Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian-French modernist celebrated for dreamlike imagery, vivid color, and poetic narratives. A central figure of the Ecole de Paris, Chagall blended Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism into a lyrical visual language inspired by folklore, mythology, and spirituality. His major commissions include the ceiling of the Paris Opera, the Jerusalem Windows, and stained-glass installations for cathedrals in Reims, Metz, and Zurich. His works reside in the collections of MoMA, the Centre Pompidou, and the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2017, Les Amoureux (The Lovers) sold for $28.5 million USD at Sotheby’s New York, setting a record for the artist.
