The artwork titled “God sends Aaron to meet Moses in the desert” was created by Marc Chagall around 1966 in France. This piece, a lithography on paper, is part of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and belongs to the religious painting genre. The artwork measures 49.7 x 36.8 cm and forms part of “The Story of the Exodus (1966)” series.
The artwork vividly captures a biblical scene where God directs Aaron to meet Moses in the desert. Rendered in Marc Chagall’s characteristic style, the piece employs a soft, almost dreamlike palette to evoke a sense of divine intervention and sacred encounter. The central figures, presumably Aaron and Moses, are depicted in an embrace, suggesting an intimate and significant moment. The background shrouds the figures in an ethereal light, enhancing the spiritual essence of the scene. Chagall’s use of color and form, imbued with symbolic undertones, brings out the emotional and narrative depth of this pivotal biblical story.
