“An Angel Painter” by Marc Chagall, created in 1928 in Paris, France, is a distinguished artwork belonging to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This religious painting, rendered using gouache and watercolor on paper, measures 66.3 x 51.6 cm.
The artwork depicts a church façade with a central, ornately adorned door that appears to be the focal point. The structure is embellished with architectural details and statues within niches, creating a sense of solemnity and reverence. Above the door, a stained glass window emits a spiritual ambiance. The muted color palette, primarily composed of hues of beige, blue, and white, evokes a serene atmosphere. The painterly style exhibits Chagall’s characteristic whimsical and dreamlike quality. In the scene, an angel can be discerned, contributing to the ethereal nature and religious theme of the painting.
