The comprehensive series " Daphnis and Chloé", which was released by Verve in Paris in 1961, can very well be counted among the main works of Marc Chagall's graphic œuvre. The pastoral literary model is ingeniously realized in Chagall's picture language, which puts an emphasis on the text's magical nature.
