Artists have been inspired by the light and air of this area to create some of their best work. In appreciation, a few, like Picasso and Matisse, have designed chapels to share their feelings with generations of visitors. The Folon Chapel, just around the back of the main church in St Paul de Vence is a wonderful gem of a place.
We first stumbled into the Chapel when seeking shelter during a rain storm. It was an amazing surprise to experience the water-color shadings and the mosaic setting out a vision of peace, calm and hope. It was the last work from the Belgian artist who worked with local artisans to create the materials – like 1 million colored tiles – and also install the work.
