The Tribe of Gad, from Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem

This vibrant lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts one of twelve maquettes he created for stained glass windows commissioned for Jerusalem, reflecting his lifelong engagement with Jewish themes and spiritual subject matter. Printed in 1964 by the prestigious Parisian publisher Mourlot on Arches paper, this hors commerce impression represents a pinnacle of the artist's printmaking practice during a period of significant cultural significance. The work exemplifies Chagall's characteristic use of rich color and dreamlike imagery to convey biblical narratives and the artistic vision that would ultimately be realized in the monumental stained glass installations for the Hadassah Medical Center synagogue.
