About Moses

The artwork titled “Moses” is a lithograph on paper created by Marc Chagall in 1972 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. It measures 65 x 47.5 cm and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This piece, classified as a religious painting, depicts a significant biblical figure.

In the artwork, Moses is portrayed holding the stone tablets bearing the Ten Commandments, surrounded by a multitude of people. The use of soft, muted colors and gentle lines gives the piece a dreamlike quality, characteristic of Marc Chagall’s style. The setting, infused with religious reverence, is animated by angelic figures and a crowd, reflecting the profound spiritual significance of the moment. The detailed expressions and symbolic elements throughout the composition highlight the narrative of divine revelation and moral laws central to biblical tradition.
