The artwork, “Snowy Peaks at Sunset,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1945, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a majestic mountain range, bathed in the serene and ethereal light of a setting sun. The peaks, covered in pristine snow, tower against a tranquil sky tinted with hues of blue and soft pink. The play of light and shadow across the undulating surfaces of the mountains creates a sense of depth and grandeur. Roerich’s distinctive style is evident in his use of subtle color gradients and dynamic forms, which imbue the landscape with a symbolic sense of timelessness and spiritual elevation.
