Details:"Sarah And The Angels" - Exhibit with minor flaws at a reduced price In this picture, Marc Chagall conveys to us in lithographic form another chapter from the Bible that he has carefully selected. The artwork refers to Gen 18, 1-21. God’s messengers tell Abraham’s wife Sarah of the imminent first birth. Despite her old age, she is supposed to give birth to a son. In Chagall’s visual interpretation of this biblical scene, the adorned figure of Sarah receives the good news with lifted hands, her head bowed, and the eyes closed happily. Her pretty profile enters the picture on the lower left. The head’s bend leads the viewer’s gaze towards the group of angels. It seems as if we are directly present at this moment. With open mouths and their wings spread widely, two of the three angel messengers are talking to Sarah, while the third one blows a horn. Chagall skilfully avoids letting either Sarah or the angels become the sole foreground of the painting. By his stylistic means, they become equally prominent. Due to the proportional contrast that her significant size creates, Sarah is just as much the centre of attention as the angels in their luminous red. With this work, we are directly listening to the angels’ message to Sarah.
