"Christ in the Night" by Marc Chagall is a representation of the crucified Christ as a symbol of the jews murdered during the the wartime years of 1930-1948. It was among the themes featured in "Chagall: Love, War and Exile," at the Jewish Museum in New York.In “Christ in the Night,” the crucified Jesus wears the Jewish prayer shawl, but the color, a deep, mournful blue, has changed the tone from agony to sorrow. The shetl in the background is not burning: The war is over.
