The artwork titled “Shekar Dzong” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1933. It was rendered using tempera on canvas, and is associated with the Symbolism movement. The piece is a landscape measuring 60.5 by 96.5 centimeters and is currently housed in the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork depicts a mountain landscape, where layers of mist and ethereal clouds weave through the mountain slopes and the ancient structures nestled at its base. The scene resonates with a mystical ambiance, accentuated by the surreal and vibrant hues of blue and pink that dominate the composition. The architecture, seemingly carved into the rocky terrain, stands as a testament to human endurance in harmony with nature. The serene mountain ridges rise majestically, enveloped in a dreamy atmosphere created by stylized clouds and a harmonious blend of colors, embodying the symbolic essence that Nicholas Roerich was known for.
