Psalms of David Plate 2

Description of Art: Psalms of David Plate 2 reflects Marc Chagall’s early lyrical interpretation of the Psalms, presenting a poetic vision where faith, music, and emotion merge in a dreamlike spiritual space. Floating figures and symbolic imagery appear weightless, suggesting prayer and inner devotion rather than literal narrative. Chagall’s expressive line work and luminous blues, accented with gentle warm tones, create an atmosphere of reverence infused with personal feeling. The plate transforms sacred text into visual poetry, capturing the emotional resonance of the Psalm through symbolism, memory, and Chagall’s unmistakable mystical imagination.
