Additional details: This original stone lithograph by Marc Chagall was created in 1956 for the celebrated publication Verve, issued by Éditions Verve in Paris. The work is part of Chagall’s profound engagement with Biblical themes, a subject that occupied a central place in his artistic vision.

The composition presents a lyrical, almost dreamlike figure rendered in fluid, expressive brushstrokes of blue, yellow, and soft pink. The forms appear to emerge organically from the surface, combining human and symbolic elements in a manner that is both spiritual and deeply personal. The handwritten text—Bible, Marc Chagall, Verve 33–34—reinforces the intimate connection between image and narrative.

Chagall regarded the Bible as a universal human story, and his interpretations are imbued with emotion, poetry, and a sense of timeless wonder. Rather than illustrating specific passages, he evokes the spiritual atmosphere of the text, blending memory, faith, and imagination into a singular visual language.

Printed as an original lithograph for Verve, one of the most important art publications of the 20th century, this work reflects the highest standards of mid-century printmaking, with rich tonal variation and painterly immediacy.

A highly collectible piece, appealing to collectors of Chagall, original lithographs, and works exploring Biblical and spiritual themes.
