This stained glass panel in Reims Cathedral depicting the Coronation of Charles VII of France, captures the historic 1429 coronation of Charles VII in a dreamlike, symbolic tableau infused with Chagall's signature poetic modernism. Commissioned in 1968 and installed in 1974, it blends biblical motifs with French history, using bold cobalt blues, emerald greens, fiery ambers, and ruby reds to evoke divine light filtering through the Gothic arches.
