“Lake Village” is a landscape artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1915, associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement.
The artwork depicts a serene lakeside village rendered in a monochromatic palette. The composition elegantly captures the tranquility and simplicity of rural life. Various houses are scattered across the gentle slopes and plains, harmonizing with the reflective, still waters of the lake. The soft gradients and muted tones invoke a sense of calm and introspection, typical of Roerich’s sensitive approach to nature and pastoral scenes. The overall scene is both peaceful and evocative, inviting the viewer to ponder the beauty of untouched landscapes.
