Psalms of David Plate 18

Description of Art: Psalms of David Plate 18 reflects Marc Chagall’s mature spiritual vision, presenting a poetic meditation on faith, suffering, and divine presence through symbolic imagery and floating forms. Figures appear suspended in a timeless, dreamlike space, suggesting prayer, endurance, and the soul’s search for meaning. Chagall’s expressive lines and luminous blues, softened by warm accents, create an atmosphere that feels both solemn and hopeful. Rather than illustrating the Psalm literally, the plate conveys its emotional and spiritual essence, transforming sacred text into a deeply personal and mystical visual experience.
