The artwork “Angel in Paradise” by Marc Chagall, created in 1956 in France, is a lithograph on paper belonging to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Measuring 37.5 by 26.5 cm, this piece is part of the series “Bible lithographs (1956)” and falls within the genre of religious painting.
The artwork depicts a serene and mystical scene with figures that appear to represent celestial beings. The composition features a dominant central figure in a lavender hue, seemingly reclining in a tranquil posture, while two lighter-colored, ethereal figures observe nearby. The background is filled with gentle, fluid strokes in soft yellow and earthy tones, imbuing the scene with a sense of otherworldly light and warmth. The overall effect is one of calm reverence and divine presence, consistent with the religious themes of the series. Marc Chagall’s signature can be seen at the bottom right corner, reinforcing the authenticity and personal touch of the artist in this spiritually evocative work.
