Considered on of the most important religious structures of the
twentieth century, the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence was regarded
by Matisse himself as his great masterpiece. He dedicated four
years to the creation of this convent chapel on the French Riviera,
and the result is one of the most remarkable and comprehensive
ensemble pieces of twentieth-century art. Every element of the
chapel bears the artists touch, from the vivid Mediterranean hues
of the stained glass windows to the starkly powerful murals; even
the vestments and altar were designed by Matisse. This beautifully
illustrated volume captures the chapel in exquisite detail,
allowing an unparalleled view of this iconic and sacred space. With
stunning new photography that captures the dramatic effects of the
changing light in the building throughout the day, this book is the
first to present the experience of being within the chapel exactly
as Matisse himself envisaged it, while Marie-Therese Pulvenis de
Selignys authoritative and insightful text explores the
extraordinary story of the chapels creation and the challenges
faced by the 77-year-old artist in realising his great vision."
