The artwork “Song of Songs III,” created by Marc Chagall in 1960 in France, is a religious painting from the Surrealism art movement. Executed in gouache and oil on paper, it measures 27 x 35 cm and belongs to the “Song of Songs” series.
“Song of Songs III” features a dreamlike composition with ethereal figures and fantastical elements. Dominated by a pink and mauve palette, the artwork depicts a couple, possibly representing biblical figures, embraced in a tender moment at the left. Surrounding them are various symbolic elements, including angelic beings and abstract shapes, hinting at themes of love and spirituality. Central to the composition is a mystical cityscape, rendered in dark hues against the lighter background. The fluid strokes and vivid colors characteristic of Chagall’s style convey a sense of otherworldly wonder and deep emotional resonance.
