How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
A Marc Chagall print remains a quintessential addition for collectors who appreciate the dreamlike qualities of 20th-century French modernism. This specific recreation, titled La Chevauchée ou La Cavalcade from 1956, captures a woman in a vibrant yellow garment riding a massive red horse across the sky. The figures float effortlessly above a cluster of European village houses, rendered in the artist’s signature loose, expressive brushwork. Our Marc Chagall print utilizes 200 GSM museum-grade matte paper to preserve the depth of the deep blues and saturated crimsons present in the original composition.
Visual Elements of this Marc Chagall print
The central figure is a crimson equine creature, dominant and powerful, yet possessing a gentle, human-like gaze. Resting upon its back, a female figure in a yellow dress clutches a bouquet, her face serene as she drifts through a fragmented sky. This Marc Chagall print showcases the interplay between the earthy browns of the village rooftops and the ethereal brilliance of the foliage on the left. The composition lacks a traditional horizon line, favoring a weightless arrangement that defines mid-century expressionism print aesthetics. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, suggesting a tactile quality that is faithfully reproduced on our archival surfaces.
In the background, the village of Vitebsk—a recurring motif in the artist’s work—appears as a series of humble dwellings with green and grey roofs. A small figure in the bottom left corner adds a sense of scale, anchoring the soaring fantasy above with a touch of mundane reality. Owning a Marc Chagall print allows for a daily observation of these intricate details, from the subtle textures of the blue sky to the warm glow emanating from the central figures. The 1956 surrealist wall art style seen here is characterized by its rejection of literal perspective in favor of emotional and spiritual truth.
