The artwork known as “Moses with the Tablets of the Law” was created by Marc Chagall in 1961 in France. This piece, crafted using lithography on paper, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. It is a religious painting measuring 78 by 56.5 cm.
The artwork portrays a poignant depiction of Moses holding the Tablets of the Law. Chagall’s use of lithography allows for vivid, expressive lines and colors. Moses is shown with a solemn, contemplative expression, his form intertwined with the sacred tablets. The scene is imbued with a sense of reverence and spirituality, emphasized by the strong contrasts and harmonious blend of dark and light tones. The artist’s distinctive style, with its folk-art aesthetic and deep emotional resonance, is evident throughout this striking religious piece.
