In his painting Over the City, Chagal and his wife Bella appear to be flying over Vitebsk while leaving in the space of Earth’s gravity the little houses sinking to one side. The principle theme of Chagal’s work is “the time of man.” He understood this to mean “man and his recollections, his reflections as something at the same time both existing and visible. It is a single being. And I portray it.” Therefore, the place allotted to any of the personages does not need to follow any laws of logic or physics and the figurative world loses its self-sufficiency and becomes only a pretext for expressing experiences. His ability to combine the lofty with the ordinary was one of the specific qualities of Chagal’s art. Even when depicting two lovers hovering over the city and daily life, the artist does not forget about details. Bella’s slippers, the lace of her dress, the very prosaic scene from life – all of this does not detract from the sense of the flight of these souls in love.

В картине «Над городом» Шагал и его супруга Белла словно летят над Витебском, оставляя в пространстве земного притяжения его покосившиеся домики. Главная тема творчества Шагала – «время человека» . Под этим временем он понимал «человека и его воспоминания, его размышления как что-то одновременно существующее и видимое.. .Это как бы одно существо. И я его изображаю» . Поэтому место расположения действующих лиц может и не подчиняться никаким законам логики и физики, а предметный мир теряет самодостаточность и становится только поводом для выражения переживаний. Способность сочетать высокое с обыденным – индивидуальное качество творчества Шагала. Даже изображая влюбленных, парящих над городом и бытом, художник не забывает о деталях. Туфельки Беллы, кружево ее платья, весьма прозаические сценки жизни – все это не мешает ощущению полета влюбленных душ.
"I suddenly felt as if we were taking off. You too were poised on one leg, as if the little room could no longer contain you. You soar up to the ceiling. Your head turned down to me, and turned mine up to you... We flew over fields of flowers, shuttered houses, roofs, yards, churches." That's how Chagall's fiance, Bella Goldenberg, remembered the elation of their engagement.The feeling was mutual. The artist painted a series of pictures celebrating their love. Some of them are pictures of flying and, as in Goldenberg's description, there is no "as if" about it. His images take the romantic metaphors of feeling lighter than air, being uplifted, soaring, swept off your feet quite literally.You can almost believe it. Chagall's love pictures are among the most vivid imaginings of human flight. The couple dart like tadpoles, they tug like kites in a strong breeze. In Over the Town, the picture has left the ground too. The flyers are large, compared with the townscape down there. The curve of the ground beneath them reflects their aerial perspective on the world.They are both active and passive. There's some swimming in their flying; a suggestion of backstroke on the waves of the air. They're like bits of crumpled, fluttering paper, blown here and there on the winds. They feel empowered and totally helpless.
