A red-haired mermaid emerges from azure Mediterranean waters, cradling a vibrant bouquet of yellow and pink flowers against the Bay of Angels. Marc Chagall composed this dreamlike vision in 1962, blending his signature floating figures with the sun-soaked palette of the C�te d'Azur.
Commissioned by the French Ministry of Tourism and lithographed by the renowned Mourlot workshop in Paris, this poster promoted Nice as an international destination during the golden age of French Riviera tourism. Chagall's modernist approach transforms the Mediterranean coastline into a poetic landscape where reality and fantasy intertwine.
The composition depicts the era when Nice emerged as a premier cultural destination, attracting artists like Chagall, Picasso, and Matisse to its Mediterranean light. Palm trees silhouetted against the blue horizon complete this vision of Riviera romance.
Reproduced as an archival print on fine art paper, preserving the vivid blues and warm Mediterranean tones of Chagall's original lithograph.
