Description
Henri Matisse: The Vence Chapel: The Archive of a Creation by M.A. Couturier is a richly illustrated study of Matisse’s design and decoration of the Chapelle du Rosaire in Vence
Henri Matisse spent four years designing the Vence Chapel, a project he frequently called his “crowning achievement.”
While the origins of this unique building are famous—inspired by Sister Jacques-Marie, the nurse who cared for him after his near-fatal illness in 1942—the actual construction of the chapel remained a mystery for a long time.
