"Ever since my earliest youth, I have been fascinated with the Bible. I have always believed that it is the greatest source of poetry of all time. [..] have sought its reflection in life and art. The Bible is life, an echo of nature, and this is the secret I have endeavored to transmit."
Marc Chagall, quote from: www.parkwestgallery.com/marc-chagall-bible-series
