Jean Cocteau working on the mural of the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.

Jean Cocteau at work on the murals of the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. The artist stands at the base of the apse, looking up at the massive, stylized composition taking shape on the curved wall. To the right, an assistant climbs a ladder on the scaffolding. Rendered in bold black outlines, the complex religious scene is populated with dynamic figures, including a depiction of Christ, another reverent bearded man, and several fish swimming in the space.
