“The Feast of the Tabernacles,” created in 1916 by Marc Chagall, is an artwork that depicts a genre painting influenced by the Cubism art movement. The medium used for this piece is gouache, and it measures 33 x 41 cm. Currently, the artwork is located in Galerie Rosengart, Lucerne, Switzerland.
The artwork captures a vivid scene imbued with religious and cultural symbolism. The central focus is a group of people engaging in a festive meal under a partially open green canopy. Inside, two individuals are seated at a table adorned with various dining implements, while a third figure offers food through an open door. The setting is depicted with bold colors and fragmented forms, characteristic of the Cubism movement, which conveys a sense of celebration and communal gathering. Additional elements, such as a figure holding greenery on the left and another interacting with a rooster on the right, enrich the narrative of the feast and further underscore the ritualistic essence of the scene.
