The artwork entitled “Moses with the Tablets of the Law” is a lithograph on paper created by Marc Chagall in 1956 in France. This piece, which belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement, illustrates a religious genre within the series of Bible lithographs from the same year. The dimensions of the lithograph are 37.8 by 26.5 centimeters.
In the artwork, Marc Chagall employs a distinctive stylistic approach characteristic of Naïve Art, with a focus on simplistic, yet emotive and symbolic representation. The portrayal of Moses, clutching the tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments, captures a moment of profound spiritual significance. The use of color and form conveys a sense of reverence and solemnity, while the visible brush strokes and texture impart a sense of immediacy and rawness to the visual narrative.
