Marc Chagall's Les Amants de la Tour Eiffel (The Lovers of the Eiffel Tower) is another enchanting piece from his Colour Amour series, which was inspired by the romance of Daphnis and Chloe. Like many of Chagall’s works, this lithograph blends elements of surrealism, fantasy, and a deep exploration of love and connection.

In Les Amants de la Tour Eiffel, Chagall places two lovers at the center of the composition, floating or embracing against a dreamlike backdrop where the iconic Eiffel Tower rises above the scene. The lovers, entwined in a tender embrace, reflect Chagall’s recurring theme of the transformative power of love. Their figures appear weightless, suspended in a world where reality and imagination seamlessly blend. The Eiffel Tower, depicted with whimsical, flowing lines, serves as both a symbol of Paris and a beacon of romance.

The colors in this work are luminous, with shades of deep blue, vibrant red, and soft pastels creating a magical and intimate atmosphere. The floating figures, the tower, and other surreal elements, like animals or abstract shapes, seem to merge into a harmonious, poetic composition. Chagall's distinctive style—characterized by fluid forms and bold colors—imbues the piece with a sense of joy, freedom, and the all-encompassing nature of love.

Overall, Les Amants de la Tour Eiffel captures Chagall’s dreamlike vision of love, where earthly and celestial realms intersect in an otherworldly Paris.

Chagall's authorization for the reproduction of these prints is demonstrated by the fact that the paper of each print is impressed with a water mark reading, “Ceci est une reproduction Marc Chagall” (“this is a reproduction Marc Chagall”), together with the artist’s signature. Without the inclusion of the water mark, you could be forgiven for believing that you were holding an original Chagall. Signed in the plate lower right.
