Marc Chagall — L’Ange et la fiancée
Marc Chagall

L’Ange et la fiancée

1930

"L'Ange et la fiancée" (The Angel and the Bride) is an oil painting by Marc Chagall that exemplifies his distinctive modernist style blending Cubist fragmentation with dreamlike, symbolic imagery drawn from his Jewish heritage and Russian folklore. The composition features his characteristic floating figures and vibrant color palette, with the angel and bride rendered in an ethereal, lyrical manner that suggests themes of love, spirituality, and transcendence. Completed in the early 20th century, the work reflects Chagall's poetic approach to representing human emotion and spiritual experience through formally inventive means.
