Marc Chagall — La barque de Jonas
Marc Chagall

La barque de Jonas

A vibrant and dreamlike lithograph by Marc Chagall, *La barque de Jonas* renders the biblical tale of Jonah in the artist's signature poetic visual language, suffused with rich, luminous color. Floating figures, a celestial boat, and mythic creatures intertwine across the composition, blurring the boundaries between the earthly and the divine. Printed on Arches paper with full margins, this work exemplifies Chagall's masterful command of color lithography and his lifelong engagement with spiritual and folkloric themes.
