The artwork, titled “Himalayas” and created by Nicholas Roerich in 1947, belongs to the Symbolism art movement. This landscape piece measures 29.5 by 44.7 centimeters.
The artwork depicts a majestic mountain range, presumably part of the Himalayas, bathed in soft hues of purple, pink, and blue. The sharp, rugged peaks rise prominently against a backdrop of a softly colored sky with clouds, evoking a sublime and ethereal quality. The use of bold and simple forms, combined with a harmonious color palette, creates a serene and contemplative mood. This work exemplifies Roerich’s ability to fuse natural grandeur with symbolic depth, characteristic of the Symbolism movement.
