Vence - Chapelle du Rosaire

Though I was early that day, I was too late. About three weeks too late.

The "Chapelle du Rosaire" was closed. - I learned from the paper, pasted onto the locked
door: "Fermeture annuelle 15.11. - 20.12." So I could only see the building from the sidewalk
of the "Avenue Henri Matisse".

This chapel was regarded by Matisse himself as his "masterpiece. It is a very complex work
of art and has a wonderful background. Many of the artists around Matisse (e.g. Picasso)
did not like what Matisse was doing here. Matisse started this "project" at the age of 77 -
and spent more than 4 years.
