  | Details:"David and his harp" (The Kings) Indisputably, David was the most important leader of the Jewish people. He wasn’t only a political genius – he united the Northern empire of Israel and the Southern one of Judah – but he was also a great writer and musician. He wrote major parts of the psalms, i.e. those prayers and songs that were summarised as a single book in the First Testament. Chagall portrayed David in this piece with a harp which he knew how to play ingeniously. He is holding the instrument gently in his arms, his gaze seems pensive, and lost in thought. His face is glowing in white, which is a sign for enlightenment, bestowed by God? Chagall used the same white colour for Job’s hands, maybe because he also implemented what he had realised in his heart and his mind. The purple background symbolises the presence of God, the real King and leader of Israel.
