The artwork “Song of Songs III,” crafted by Marc Chagall in 1960 in France, is a religious painting belonging to the Surrealism movement. The artwork, part of the “Song of Songs” series, was created using gouache and oil on paper. Its dimensions are 32 by 42.5 cm.
The artwork presents a dreamlike tableau, characteristic of Chagall’s surrealistic style, featuring symbolic and religious motifs. Set against a predominantly pink background, the composition includes a central couple draped in flowing white garments, evoking a sense of romance and spiritual unity. Around them, fantastical figures and creatures float, adding to the ethereal quality of the piece. Vivid and diverse colors highlight different elements, creating a dynamic contrast that guides the viewer’s eye across the various symbolic representations, all converging to form a cohesive visual narrative.
