About: "Der Rabbi, from Mein Leben" is a 1922 etching and drypoint by Marc Chagall, part of his autobiographical series "Mein Leben" ("My Life"). This artwork portrays a rabbi, reflecting Chagall's deep connection to his Jewish heritage and the cultural milieu of his upbringing in Vitebsk, Belarus. This composition draws from Chagall's earlier 1914 oil painting titled "Feast Day (Rabbi with a Lemon)," held in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf. Notably, in the etching, the image is reversed compared to the oil painting. "Der Rabbi, from Mein Leben" has been featured in various exhibitions and remains a significant example of Chagall's exploration of Jewish themes through his distinctive artistic style.
