The artwork titled “Noah and the Rainbow” was created by Marc Chagall around the year 1963 in France. Executed in Indian ink and pencil on paper, the piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of a sketch and study. It measures 49.9 by 66.1 centimeters.
The artwork, rendered in a dreamlike and fluid style typical of Surrealism, presents a vivid and imaginative interpretation of the biblical story of Noah and the Flood. Dominated by deep, vibrant hues, a large rainbow arches prominently across the scene, echoing themes of hope, promise, and renewal. Figures are depicted in swirling, whimsical forms, embodying Chagall’s unique approach to narrative and symbolism. The composition is rich with motion and emotion, inviting viewers to explore its layers of meaning and the interplay of color and form.
