Psalms of David Plate 17

Description of Art: Psalms of David Plate 17 reflects Marc Chagall’s deeply emotional and spiritual language, presenting a symbolic vision of prayer, struggle, and divine reassurance. Floating figures and sacred imagery appear suspended in a dreamlike space, suggesting inner reflection rather than literal narration. Chagall’s expressive line work and luminous blues, softened with warm accents, create an atmosphere of solemnity balanced by hope. The plate transforms the Psalm into visual poetry, capturing its spiritual essence through symbolism, memory, and Chagall’s unmistakable mystical imagination.
