Number 4, 2015 Marc Chagall (1887–1985) has been called the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century, and one of the foremost visual interpreters of the Bible. He was born in Vitebsk, Belarus, into a traditional Hasidic Jewish family. According to Chagall, “Since my early youth I have been fascinated by the Bible. It has always seemed to me and it seems to me still that it is the greatest source of poetry of all time. Since then I have sought this reflection in life and in art. The Bible is like an echo of nature and this secret I have tried to transmit.”

All Saints church in the tiny Kent village of Tudeley is not a large or architecturally distinguished building, but has become internationally famous for it's complete set of stained glass windows by renowned 20th century artist Marc Chagall. The church itself is a humble structure, it was damaged in the Civil War and mostly rebuilt in the 17th century (the box-like brick tower) and the Victorian period. There is little of antiquity within aside from a large c1600 monument (without figures) on the north side of the chancel. What makes a visit here so unforgettable is the glass: the east window was installed in 1967, donated as a memorial to the drowned Sarah D'Avigdor Goldsmith by her parents; she can be seen as the figure floating at the base whilst her soul ascends a ladder to Heaven, where a crucified Christ awaits. The commissioning of the Belarussian-Jewish artist Marc Chagall was the inspired touch, this piece being amongst the most famous of 20th century windows. It was made in collaboration with Charles Marq at his studio in Reims. The success and popularity of the finished work was such that it led to the commissioning of further windows from the artist over the next 15 years, ultimately becoming a complete set. However installation of the final side windows in the chancel was delayed until 1985 owing to local opposition to removing the Victorian glass in those windows; a compromise solution was found with the Victorian stained glass remaining in the church in specially made light-boxes mounted on the walls under the west tower. The interior is now bathed in beautiful coloured light from the largely abstract windows, blue being the dominant colour in the chancel and north aisle with yellow dominating the two large south nave windows. Aside from a single window in Chichester Cathedral these are the only works by Chagall in stained glass in Britain. The church is a haven of peace and beauty and a must for anyone with an interest in the medium of stained glass. It is lovingly cared for and open to visitors every day. www.tudeley.org/allsaintstudeley.htm

A good studio for an artist is a significant place. Creative studios might sometimes look like a pile of rubbish or a mixed-up room, but this is where famous artists' paintings are born!
