The artwork “Vitrage at Chichester Cathedral (David, Psalm 150)” was created by Marc Chagall in 1978 and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This piece is categorized under the genre of design.
The artwork, a stained glass window design, depicts an array of vibrant, ethereal figures in motion, crystallized in hues of red, blue, green, and gold. These figures are arranged in an almost chaotic harmony within the confines of an arched frame, likely symbolizing a scene inspired by the biblical Psalm 150, which calls for the praise of God with music and dance. At the pinnacle of the composition, a figure appears to ride a horse, surrounded by other figures who seem to be engaged in jubilant celebration, playing musical instruments, and dancing. Chagall’s characteristic style, with its dreamlike quality and use of vivid colors, brings a mystic and celebratory quality to the religious narrative illustrated in this design.
