Psalms of David Plate 16

Description of Art: Psalms of David Plate 16 reflects Marc Chagall’s deeply emotional and symbolic approach to spiritual imagery, presenting a vision of prayer, struggle, and divine presence within a dreamlike, floating space. Figures and sacred symbols appear suspended in weightlessness, suggesting inner devotion and reflection rather than literal storytelling. Chagall’s expressive line work and luminous blues, softened with gentle warm accents, create an atmosphere of reverence infused with personal emotion. The plate transforms the Psalm into visual poetry, capturing its spiritual intensity and hope through memory, symbolism, and Chagall’s unmistakable mystical imagination.
