“Lovers in Green” is an evocative artwork created by Marc Chagall in 1917 in Liozna, near Vitebsk, Belarus. Executed in oil on canvas, this genre painting exhibits the stylistic characteristics of the Cubist movement and is currently part of a private collection.
The artwork presents an intimate scene featuring two lovers, rendered in a palette dominated by rich greens and deep reds. The composition is marked by Chagall’s distinctive style, with the figures exhibiting a blend of abstract forms and emotional depth. The female figure’s face is turned upward, embodying an expression of contemplation or yearning, while the male figure rests his head against her, eyes closed in a gesture of tender affection. The careful use of color and shadow creates a sense of depth and highlights the emotional connection between the subjects. The background is a gradient of green shades, providing a stark yet harmonious contrast to the figures, thereby enhancing the sense of intimacy in the scene.
