The celebrated artist Marc Chagall began illustrating the Bible in
1931, and it became his lifelong passion. This extraordinary volume
includes more than 150 of his finest works, paired with three books
from the Old Testament. When a portion of these Biblical
illustrations were presented as an exhibition, the "New York Times"
exclaimed that Chagall's art was "a lively and enriching way for
anyone, no matter how deeply or how casually schooled in the Bible,
to become reacquainted with scenes and stories from the Old
Testament conveyed by an assured hand in an endearing style."
Chagall's illustrations reflect his Jewish heritage and his view of
the complex relationship between God and man, presaging many of the
subjects and themes in his later work. This unique volume will
appeal to many audiences
