Marc Chagall Exhibition 'Il Volo Meraviglioso' Opens at Milan's NOTTE Gallery

An exhibition titled 'Il Volo Meraviglioso' (The Marvelous Flight) featuring approximately fifteen works by twentieth-century artist Marc Chagall is currently on view at NOTTE Gallery in Milan. The show, curated by gallery directors Carolina Lanfanchi and Mattia Melzi, runs from April 15 to June 15, 2026, at the venue located at Via Bigli 11. The presentation focuses on Chagall's ability to transform personal and historical trauma, including his experiences fleeing Nazism and the loss of his wife Bella Rosenfeld, into poetic and lyrical art. The exhibition highlights recurring themes in Chagall's oeuvre, such as symbolic animals like goats and roosters representing sacrifice and purification, religious imagery including rabbis, and motifs of lovers and windows that blur boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. A significant portion of the displayed works are on paper, a medium that emphasizes transparency and contributes to the dreamlike quality of his compositions. One featured piece is 'Rencontre à la grande fenêtre' (c. 1976), a mixed-media work on colored paper. The gallery aims to position itself as a cultural hub with this project, showcasing a major modern artist in a private gallery setting.
