Marc Chagall was born on July 7, 1887 in Vitebsk, Belarus. The eldest of nine children, he grew up in a Jewish family steeped in religious culture.
At the end of 1906, after a brief stint in the studio of the painter Jehuda Pen in Vitebsk, he moved to Saint Petersburg. He enrolled in the School of Drawing founded by the Imperial Society for the Protection of Fine Arts, which he left in the summer of 1908. He then took a course in modern art given by Léon Bakst, a painter and decorator for Sergei Diaghilev’s Russian ballets, at the Svanseva school. He discovered “living modern art” and intellectual and literary circles. Bakst taught him, in particular, the importance of colour. He also drew inspiration from the ancient icons found in the churches of Saint Petersburg. Russian folklore was another major source of inspiration for his art. At the end of the summer of 1909, he met Bella Rosenfeld, with whom he fell madly in love.
