“Lovers under Lilies” is a notable work by Marc Chagall, created in 1925 during his time in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. The artwork, a genre painting, measures 101.6 by 76.2 centimeters and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork showcases Chagall’s distinctive style, blending whimsical and dreamlike elements. Central to the piece are two figures, presumably lovers, enveloped in a tender embrace. Above them, a lush arrangement of lilies and roses cascades, merging with the celestial backdrop. The use of bold and fluid brushstrokes, as well as vibrant colors, imbues the painting with a sense of romanticism and surrealism. A golden orb hovers in the upper left corner, adding to the ethereal quality of the scene. The overall composition evokes a sense of intimacy and otherworldly beauty, characteristic of Chagall’s oeuvre.
