Psalms of David Plate 5

Description of Art: Psalms of David Plate 5 reflects Marc Chagall’s deeply spiritual and poetic vision, translating the biblical text into a dreamlike composition filled with symbolism, emotion, and luminous color. Floating figures, musical elements, and sacred imagery merge in a weightless space, suggesting prayer, devotion, and the intimate dialogue between humanity and the divine. Chagall’s expressive lines and rich blues, greens, and warm accents create a sense of reverence infused with personal feeling rather than strict narrative. The plate captures the essence of the Psalms as songs of longing, faith, and praise, rendered through Chagall’s uniquely lyrical and mystical visual language.
