Forest Lawn - Glendale - Great Mausoleum


Marc Chagall
The Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale is exhibiting a glimpse into Russian-born painter Marc Chagall's early works.  On display are 65 exquisite etchings and aquatints that spotlight the Chagall's work in the mid to late 1920’s, when he moved to Paris following the Russian Revolution.  This carefully selected display focuses on the artist's personal and artistic development from his humble beginnings in the embattled Belarus region of Russia to his eventual contribution and impact on the world of art, which still resonates today.  Chagall remains one of the most popular and respected artists of the twentieth century and this exhibition provides an extraordinary look at some of his formative years.   

Forest Lawn - Glendale - Great Mausoleum
This stained glass masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci's immortal painting was crafted in Italy by Rosa Caselli Moretti. Using Leonardo's own sketches, she sought to capture for posterity the original appearance of the now damaged and faded painting.
