Marc Chagall was a French-Russian artist whose
work anticipated the dream-like imagery of
Surrealism. Over the course of his career Chagall
developed the poetic, amorphous, and deeply
personal visual language. In addition to his
paintings, Chagall was also noted for his vibrant
works in stained glass and lithography. St.
Stephens is the only German church for which the
Jewish artist Marc Chagall (1887 - 1985) created
windows. Born in Russia, the artists spent the
longest period of his life in France. Blue light
shines through the stained glass into the
interior of St. Stephens, and not only angels
but other Biblical figures move apparently
ethereally in this light. The colours address
our vital consciousness directly, because they
tell of optimism, hope and delight in life, says
Monsignor Klaus Mayer, who imparts Chagalls work
in mediations and books. He established contact
with Chagall in 1973, and succeeded in persuading
the master of colour and the biblical message
to set a sign for Jewish-Christian attachment and
international understanding in the east chancel.
In 1978, the first Chagall window by the then
91-year-old artist was fitted. A further eight
followed, six for the east chancel and three in
the transept. Marc Chagall, who became an
honorary citizen of Mainz, but never got to know
the city, completed his final window shortly
before his death at the age of 97. Nineteen later
and deliberately more modest windows in the side
aisles by Charles Marq, from the Atelier Jacques
Simon in Reims, serve to lead up to the
masterpieces. Chagall worked together with Marq
for 28 years.
