Additional details: This evocative lithograph by Marc Chagall is titled Moses and the Tablets and served as the full-page frontispiece for the book The Biblical Message. It is referenced as No. 689 in Lithographs IV (1969–1973), the authoritative catalogue raisonné compiled by Charles Sorlier. The composition presents a deeply expressive vision of Moses, rendered in Chagall’s unmistakable, fluid line. Seated and introspective, Moses holds the Tablets of the Law, while a swirling congregation of figures—part human, part spiritual—emerges around him. A goat, a recurring symbol in Chagall’s work, appears above, reinforcing the artist’s rich visual language drawn from memory, folklore, and Jewish tradition. Chagall approached the Old Testament not as distant theology but as a living, human narrative. As he stated, it was “a human story… not with the creation of the cosmos but with the creation of man,” and here, angels and human figures merge seamlessly, reflecting that vision. The result is a composition that feels both intimate and universal—rooted in faith, yet deeply personal and poetic. Originally created during Chagall’s later period, when biblical themes occupied a central place in his work, this lithograph captures the artist at the height of his expressive powers. The gestural line, soft tonal washes, and dreamlike arrangement of figures embody the spiritual intensity and narrative richness that define his mature style. Printed in the pre-digital era and issued within a significant art publication, this piece stands as both a collectible work on paper and an important document of Chagall’s lifelong engagement with biblical imagery. A compelling and historically grounded work, highly desirable for collectors of Chagall, modern printmaking, and religious or narrative art. Framing available upon request.
