The artwork, titled “Himalayas,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1943. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts the majestic and ethereal beauty of the Himalayan mountain range. Dominated by a striking, snow-covered peak, the composition captures the serene and lofty essence of the mountains. The contrasting use of dark and light shades evokes a sense of depth and grandeur. The blue hues of the surrounding sky and the shadows of the mountains enhance the tranquil and mystic atmosphere, characteristic of Roerich’s symbolic representation of nature’s grandeur and spirituality.
