Psalms of David Plate 23

Description of Art: Psalms of David Plate 23 reflects Marc Chagall’s late spiritual lyricism, offering a deeply emotional and symbolic meditation on faith, endurance, and divine connection. Floating figures and sacred imagery emerge within a weightless, dreamlike space, suggesting prayer and inner revelation rather than literal narrative. Chagall’s expressive line work and luminous blues, enriched with soft warm accents, create an atmosphere that feels both contemplative and hopeful. The plate transforms the Psalm into visual poetry, capturing its spiritual essence through emotion, memory, and Chagall’s unmistakable mystical imagination.
