"David saved by Michal"


In the darkness, we can witness an exciting scene. The crescent moon in the upper left, covering the scene in pale light, indicates that it is night time. In a dimly shining white, a glazing grey-blue and a flowing violet, we become witnesses of David fleeing from Saul’s men who want to kill him. Michal, his wife, is left behind. She was able to warn him just in time and urged him to flee. Chagall uniquely captures the moment of David’s falling, leaving the ending of this dramatic scene open.

This is  N O T  a mass-produced reprint (offset or grano lithograph from a so-called "Limited edition") but the original lithograph from Chagalls Bible II, exactly as referenced in Mourlot's catalogue raisonné.

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.
