The artwork entitled “Sunrise (Unfinished)” was created by Nicholas Roerich in the year 1930. It is a piece belonging to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene landscape bathed in the warm, radiant hues of an early morning sunrise. Dominated by a vibrant yellow sky, the composition features mountains rendered in shades of orange and purple, creating a harmonious contrast and depth. The mountains rise gently from the foreground, guiding the viewer’s eye toward the horizon. Despite its unfinished state, the artwork captures a sense of tranquility and the sublime beauty of nature. The use of bold, yet soft colors exemplifies the Symbolist movement’s emphasis on evoking emotional resonance and exploring the mystical and spiritual qualities of the natural world.
