Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence, Religious chapel in Vence, France.
The Rosary Chapel features stained glass windows and ceramic panels creating patterns of light through blue, green, and yellow colors across white walls.
Henri Matisse dedicated four years to design this chapel between 1949 and 1951, working closely with Dominican sister Jacques-Marie, who previously served as his nurse.
The interior displays Matisse's artistic vision through simplified drawings of the Stations of the Cross and carefully designed liturgical fixtures and vestments.
The chapel welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
Six chasubles designed by Matisse for officiating priests incorporate geometric patterns and specific colors matching the chapel's artistic elements.
