The artwork, titled “Himalayas,” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in 1946. It is a notable piece within the Symbolism art movement and belongs to the landscape genre.
The artwork portrays the majestic and serene peaks of the Himalayas, rendered in a harmonious palette of cool blues and whites. The mountains are depicted with a significant emphasis on their sharp, jagged edges rising dramatically toward the sky, suggesting both their grandeur and isolation. The choice of colors and the stylistic execution imbue the scene with a mystical and almost otherworldly ambiance, characteristic of Symbolism. The sky transitions from a deep blue at the top to lighter tones near the horizon, seamlessly blending with the snowy summits, which are illuminated by soft lighting, creating an ethereal dreamscape.
