The Tribe of Issachar, from Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem by Charles Sorlier

A luminous composition rendered in Chagall's signature dreamlike style, this lithograph glows with rich jewel tones of deep blue, violet, and gold, evoking the ethereal quality of light filtering through stained glass. Flowing figures, celestial symbols, and animals intertwine in a mystical tableau, reflecting Chagall's deeply spiritual connection to Jewish heritage and biblical narrative. Created as a maquette for the iconic Jerusalem windows, this work on Arches paper captures the artist's masterful ability to translate sacred symbolism into radiant, poetic imagery.
