Peace and the further reign of Jerusalem in Prophecy of Isaiah (Isaiah, II, 1 5)

Marc Chagall’s Peace and the further reign of Jerusalem in Prophecy of Isaiah (Isaiah, II, 1 5) (c.1956, France) is an evocative example of religious painting that reflects his enduring engagement with biblical themes. Executed through etching on paper, the work demonstrates Chagall’s characteristic blend of vibrant colors and fluid, dreamlike forms, invoking spiritual vision and hope. The piece embodies elements of Naïve art (primitivism) in its simplified, expressive lines and symbolic imagery, capturing the prophetic promise of peace and divine harmony associated with Jerusalem. This fusion of technique and theme situates the artwork firmly within mid-20th century modern sacred art.
