The artwork titled “Noah and the Rainbow,” crafted by Marc Chagall around 1963 in France, epitomizes the Surrealism art movement. Created using pencil on paper, this piece falls under the genre of sketch and study, and measures 46.7 x 58 cm.
The artwork is imbued with Chagall’s distinctive surrealistic style, manifesting a dynamic composition of swirling forms and vivid, dreamlike colors. A central rainbow arches through the piece, alluding to the biblical narrative of Noah, while abstract human and animal figures interweave with intricate foliage and mystical elements. The pencil medium lends a delicate, spontaneous quality to the scene, enhancing the ethereal and fantastical atmosphere that Chagall consistently evokes in his works.
