Chagall in Ferrara: the poet of color at Palazzo dei Diamanti

If there is one artist capable of making lovers fly over rooftops, animals talk, and memories turn into bouquets of light, it is Marc Chagall.

I have news for you. Starting in October, you can immerse yourself in his colorful and melancholic universe at the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, with the exhibition Chagall. Witness of his time, from October 11, 2025, to February 8, 2026.

An exhibition that is not only visual but also emotional. An exhibition that touches deep chords, because Chagall is not only the painter of love and dreams but also a lucid witness to the contradictions of his time.

Chagall arrives in Ferrara: an exhibition to be experienced with your eyes (and your heart)

Known throughout the world for his floating figures, enchanted scenes, and bright colors, Chagall was able to paint life in its entirety: from joy to nostalgia, from spirituality to exile.

In Ferrara, 200 works await you, including paintings, drawings, and engravings, accompanied by two immersive roomsthat will allow you to literally step inside some of his most monumental creations. An enveloping journey, where the images seem to move along with your emotions.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the exhibition is its focus on the theme of duality: split faces, mirrored portraits, multiple identities.

Chagall explores the duality of human existence with a profound and poetic gaze. His works speak of life and death, exile and belonging, roots and future, and above all, they speak of us.

Every image is a metaphor: lovers suspended in the air, explosive bouquets, anthropomorphic animals are symbols of universal emotions that transcend time and space.

Why this exhibition is not to be missed

In an age such as ours, marked by conflict and fragmentation, Chagall reminds us that art can be a bridge, a cure, a shared reflection.

Behind the beauty of his images lies a simple and powerful truth: that art can still speak to people’s hearts, telling stories in which everyone can recognize themselves.

The exhibition, curated by Paul Schneiter and Francesca Villanti and organized by Fondazione Ferrara Arte together with Arthemisia, is an opportunity to rediscover Chagall not only as a visionary painter, but as a poetic voice of our humanity.
