In this evocative composition, the viewer is met with a plethora of vibrant colors and dynamic forms, characteristic of Chagall’s unique Surrealist style. Central to the piece is a prominent rainbow, which arches over an array of abstract human figures, fusing biblical themes with a dream-like atmosphere. The use of gouache and pastel brings a rich texture to the paper, accentuating the ethereal and almost transcendent quality of the scene. The artwork envelops the viewer in a mystical narrative, offering a vivid visual interpretation of the biblical story of Noah, suffused with Chagall’s distinct imaginative vision.
