"Jeremiah's lamentations" (The Prophets)


 
In his first series based on the bible, Marc Chagall paid particular attention to the prophets. Two lithographs of this series depict Jeremiah, the profound prophet tortured by the responsibility of his vocation as a prophet and concerns for his people. In this illustration, he claps the Torah scroll tightly to his chest and does not appear to take notice of the people around him. Lost in thought in his frequently experienced solitude, he contemplates one of his numerous conflicts and bemoans his isolation and even doubts God because of the heavy burden of his office.
 
In the Jewish tradition, Jeremiah’s lamentations are recited at various celebrations and occasions to this day.

In 1956, the French art critic and publisher Tériade brought out a special issue of the legendary art magazine Verve, which was exclusively devoted to one of Marc Chagalls major themes: The Bible. For this outstanding issue, Chagall composed 18 full-page colour lithographs and 12 in black and white. For his "Bible I" Marc Chagall focused on characters from the Old Testament such as the Founding Fathers, the Kings, the Prophets and Angels. Four years later, in 1960, the follow-up issue "Illustrations for The Bible" was published, with another 24 gorgeous color lithographs. Since then, vast numbers of reproductions were put in circulation which are anything but original(!) lithographs.
