The artwork in the image is a poster by the artist Marc Chagall for the Metropolitan Opera's production of Mozart's opera, "The Magic Flute" (Die Zauberflöte). The poster was created around 1966 for the opera's new home at Lincoln Center, with Chagall also designing the sets and costumes for the production. The poster features Chagall's signature vibrant colors and whimsical, fantastical figures, including a winged musician playing a flute, a serpent, and various animals. The composition is similar to one of the large murals, "The Triumph of Music," which Chagall created for the Metropolitan Opera House's grand staircase

Artist: Marc Chagall (1887-1985) was a pioneer of modernism, but he rejected affiliation with a single movement, instead borrowing from styles like Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism to create his own distinct aesthetic.
Influenced by contemporary Russian painting, Chagall's distinctive, child-like style, often center on images from his childhood. For nearly a century, the rich, emotion-laden works of Marc Chagall have delighted the senses and deeply touched the hearts and minds of art connoisseurs, collectors and the general public.
