Golgotha 1912

Marc Chagall's "Golgotha" (1912) is a poignant depiction of the crucifixion of Christ, painted in the artist's signature Expressionist style. The work features a stylized, blue Christ figure against a vibrant green background, with figures below seemingly reacting to the scene. The use of geometric forms and bold colours evokes a sense of emotion and spirituality, reflecting Chagall's unique exploration of Jewish and Russian folklore in his art. This painting is considered one of Chagall's most important early works, showcasing his artistic prowess and the influence of his heritage on his artistic vision.
