The seventeen vast paintings in the Chagall Museum Nice are arranged into two groups. The first twelve paintings constitute a cycle, each drawing as its subject a narrative episode recited in the Old Testament. The other five paintings illustrate the Song of Songs, not as a homogeneous series, but as five variations on the same theme—love. The artist said of the Chagall Museum Nice that he hoped people would leave having "found a certain peace, a certain religiosity, a feeling of life" and that after seeing the work, viewers would "hear their music and their poetry guided by the heart."

A la belle saison, ils installaient leur cabane sur la plage, au fond d’une crique, prés d’une source. Ils chassaient notamment des éléphants, des cerfs et des lapins. Leurs outils, choppers, hachereaux ou bifaces étaient essentiellement fabriqués à partir des galets ramassés sur la plage …Une empreinte de pied demeure le seul
