The artwork “Jeremiah,” created by Marc Chagall in 1956 in France, is a lithography on paper piece measuring 33.5 x 27 cm. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre of religious painting. This piece is part of the “Bible lithographs (1956)” series.
In the composition, the prophet Jeremiah is depicted with a somber and contemplative expression, surrounded by a palette dominated by dark hues. The use of vivid colors such as deep purples, greens, and reds lends an emotional intensity to the scene. The lines and forms, though somewhat abstracted, eloquently convey a sense of anguish and reflection, characteristic of Chagall’s style. The overall effect is both evocative and profound, resonating with themes of sorrow and prophecy.
