Marc Chagall
La Vision d'Ezechiel
Marc Chagall
Russian-French, 1889 - 1985
1931-1939
Etching and Aquatint with Hand Coloring
12 1/2 x 10 in. (31.8 x 25.4 cm)
Signed and Numbered Ed. 72/100.
Drawn from Chagall's celebrated Bible series, La Vision d'Ezechiel captures the prophet's mystical vision of four winged creatures — lion, ox, eagle, and man — rising from celestial fire. With characteristic dreamlike intensity, Chagall merges Old Testament narrative with his distinctive vocabulary of symbol and spirit. The hand-applied color — soft rose, luminous yellow, and deep charcoal — gives this impression a warmth and intimacy that sets it apart from a purely printed work. A signed and numbered example from an edition of 100, this is an accessible entry point into one of the twentieth century's most iconic bodies of work.
