Beschrijving
A dreamlike lithograph by Marc Chagall, featuring expressive figures and celestial motifs rendered in deep blues and charcoal tones.
This lithograph by Marc Chagall reflects his lifelong engagement with biblical narratives, a theme that occupied much of his later career. Commissioned by the art dealer Ambroise Vollard, Chagall produced a vast series of etchings and lithographs interpreting the Old Testament. This specific composition, often associated with his designs for the Bible, demonstrates his characteristic approach to mythological and spiritual subjects. The work employs a dreamlike visual language, where figures float within a fluid, atmospheric space.
The composition is divided into two distinct zones. On the right, a central figure, possibly representing a prophet or a divine messenger, is depicted with sweeping, gestural lines. Below this figure, a smaller, serene face emerges from the darkness, accompanied by the suggestion of a harp, which evokes the psalms of David. The left side of the print features a more abstract, celestial arrangement, with a large, pale orb balanced against darker, textured washes of blue and charcoal.
Chagall uses a restricted palette of deep blues, greys, and off-white tones to create a sense of nocturnal mystery. The application of ink varies from dense, opaque blocks to lighter, splattered effects, which provide a sense of depth and movement. The figures are not rendered with anatomical precision, but rather through expressive, calligraphic marks that convey emotional weight. This print captures the artist's ability to blend personal memory with ancient tradition, resulting in a work that feels both archaic and distinctly modern. It is a fine example of Chagall's mastery of the lithographic medium, where he manipulated the stone to achieve a painterly quality, allowing for soft transitions between light and shadow.

Artist Biography
Marc Chagall
Chagall paid a man to pose in his dead father's prayer clothes so he could paint them. He had returned to Vitebsk and realised the Hasidic traditions he grew up with were disappearing. The shtetl world of his childhood, the fiddlers on rooftops, the floating lovers, the goats and roosters mixed with Torah and candlelight, would survive primarily through his paintings.
He was born Moishe Shagal in 1887, in the Pale of Settlement, the restricted zone where Jews were permitted to live in the Russian Empire. His father worked at a herring warehouse. The family was devout Hasidic. After studying in St Petersburg, he went to Paris in 1911 and immersed himself in the Fauvists and Cubists, absorbing their formal innovations without abandoning the narrative imagery of his childhood. The colour and the dreamlike floating figures were already there in Vitebsk. Paris gave him the structure.
He met Bella Rosenfeld, the daughter of a wealthy Vitebsk jeweller, and married her in 1915. She became his primary subject for the next three decades. The flying lovers that recur across his work, gravity-defying couples suspended above rooftops and villages, began with Bella. When she died of a streptococcal infection in New York in September 1944, penicillin existed but the entire supply was reserved for soldiers. He stopped painting for nine months. He continued to paint her memory for the remaining forty-one years of his life.
Picasso once said that when Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is. The friendship ended at a dinner at Chagall's home in 1964. Picasso asked when he was going back to Russia. Chagall replied: after you, I hear you are greatly loved there but not your work. They never spoke again.
His late stained glass commissions are among the strongest work of his final decades: the Peace Window at the United Nations, the twelve windows representing the Tribes of Israel at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem, and windows at Metz Cathedral. In 1964, Andre Malraux commissioned him to paint the ceiling of the Paris Opera, a decision that provoked fury from critics who objected to a Russian-born Jewish artist working inside a French Baroque monument. He lived to ninety-seven.
