Marc Chagall's birthday was celebrated in Vitebsk

Vitebsk celebrated the birthday of our countryman, the world-famous artist Marc Chagall. The main events dedicated to the memory of the master took place on Pokrovskaya Street, where the painter's parental home is located.

It is here that fans of Marc Chagall's work and tourists come every year on July 7. Traditionally, the holiday began at the monument to the master with the laying of flowers. Many people took selfies as a keepsake. Then everyone was invited to the courtyard of the house-museum of the artist.

Here, in the old apple orchard, Jewish music was played. The play "Once upon a time there was an artist" was shown, reproducing the paintings of Marc Chagall's childhood, his studies with Yudel Pen, and family relations.

The performance of violinists Anna and Ksenia Timokhina was very emotional and touching. The sisters performed classical music that was in harmony with the works of Marc Chagall.

The celebration of Marc Chagall's birthday in Vitebsk became a bright and unforgettable event that united the citizens and guests of the city in their love of art. On this day, Vitebsk once again felt its connection with the great artist and was proud that one of the most outstanding masters of the XX century was born and worked here.
