The Tribe of Benjamin, from Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem
This 1964 lithograph by Marc Chagall presents a vibrant design for one of twelve stained glass windows commissioned for Jerusalem, rendered in characteristic jewel tones and the artist's distinctive symbolic vocabulary. The work, printed by the renowned Parisian publisher Mourlot on Arches paper in an edition of 150, exemplifies Chagall's synthesis of modernist color with spiritual and narrative content drawn from Jewish biblical tradition. The monumental scale and luminous quality of the composition reflect the artist's profound engagement with light and translucency, qualities essential to the stained glass medium itself.
