The artwork entitled “Easter” by Marc Chagall, created in 1968, is an oil on canvas that measures 160 x 160 cm. This work belongs to the art movement of Surrealism and falls under the genre of symbolic painting.
“Easter” by Marc Chagall is a vivid and symbolic representation executed in a surrealistic style. Dominating the upper right portion of the artwork is a yellow ox’s head, gazing solemnly over the scene. In the center-left, an angelic figure with wings, painted in a dynamic pose, seems to be soaring or falling, with a radiant red half-circle likely symbolizing the sun or moon behind it. Below, a village scene with several small houses can be observed, with figures gathered seemingly in contemplation or conversation, adding to the symbolic depth and narrative of the painting. The use of vibrant colors and dreamlike elements creates a profound and mystical atmosphere, emblematic of Chagall’s unique artistic vision.
