The artwork “Guru Guri Dhar,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1931, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized within the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts an ethereal mountain range, with jagged peaks rising majestically against a clear blue sky. The use of various shades of blue enhances the cool, serene atmosphere of the mountainous terrain. Snow-capped summits are depicted with a meticulous attention to light and shadow, providing a sense of depth and grandeur. The foreground features rugged, shaded slopes which gradually lead the viewer’s eye towards the distant, luminescent peaks. Through his masterful rendering of the landscape, Roerich captures the mystique and spiritual significance often associated with high-altitude, remote environments.
