notes:

Chagall was commissioned to paint the ceiling in 1963, a choice that caused controversy centering around the fact he was a Russian Jew rather than a french born artist, with others objecting to the ceiling of the historic building being painted by a modern artist. It took him just a year to complete the work.

It was presented to the public on September 23, 1964. Once the orchestra played the finale of a Mozart symphony, Chagall's favorite composer, the chandelier was lit up bringing the painting to life to great acclaim, essentially silencing the critics.
