“**Sacred Himalayas**,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1933, is a landscape artwork executed in tempera on canvas. This piece is associated with the Symbolism art movement.
The artwork depicts a serene and majestic view of the Himalayas, rendered with vibrant hues and striking contrasts. The towering, snow-capped peaks of the mountains are painted in soft yellows and light oranges, reflecting the gentle light of the sun, which creates a sense of divine luminescence. The vastness of the blue sky overhead enhances the awe-inspiring nature of the mountains. In the foreground, earthy tones suggest the presence of an ancient and sturdy structure, nestled within the natural splendor. The careful composition and choice of colors emphasize a spiritual connection to the landscape, evoking a sense of reverence and tranquility.
