Springtime in the Meadow, from Daphnis and Chloe (Mourlot 314; see Cramer bks. 46)
1961
This lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts a scene from the classical pastoral narrative Daphnis and Chloe, capturing the awakening of love and nature during springtime. The work showcases Chagall's characteristic dreamlike quality through his use of vibrant colors and floating, ethereal forms that blend figures and landscape elements. Printed in multiple colors on fine Arches wove paper, this composition exemplifies the artist's mastery of the lithographic medium and his ability to transform literary subject matter into poetic visual poetry.
