In the Night - Marc Chagall  “Painted in New York while in exile from Nazi persecution of Jewish artists, In the Night tells of Chagall comforting Bella with memories of their early life in Vitebsk - the lamp above their head signifies that the village scene is a story retold indoors at night. The following year, both Vitebsk and Paris would be liberated, but before the Chagalls’ return voyage to France, Bella was suddenly stricken with illness and died. Chagall was utterly devastated by the loss of his beloved, his muse. Who would comfort him in the dark night?”
