Marc Chagall

La Tribu de Gad, from Douze maquettes de vitraux pour Jérusalem (The Tribe of Gad, from Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem)

This vibrant lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts the Tribe of Gad through his signature dreamlike imagery, rendered in rich, luminous colors that evoke the transcendent quality of stained glass. Part of a series of twelve designs intended for the Hadassah–Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem, the composition reflects Chagall's deep connection to Jewish tradition and spirituality. Masterfully executed by printer Charles Sorlier on Arches paper, the work captures the radiant, jewel-like glow that would define the celebrated Jerusalem windows.

Medium
Lithograph in colors by Charles Sorlier, on Arches paper, with full margins.
