Order of Rigden Jyepo 1927

"Order of Rigden Jyepo" (1927) by Nicholas Roerich, a renowned Russian painter and explorer, depicts a mystical scene in the Himalayas. The painting features a group of travelers on horseback approaching a cave, where a radiant figure, Rigden Jyepo, a Buddhist deity, is enshrined. Roerich's use of vibrant colors and symbolic imagery is characteristic of his art and his interest in Eastern spirituality and culture. This piece, now located in the Roerich Museum in Moscow, is a testament to Roerich's enduring legacy as a painter of landscapes, cultural iconography, and spirituality.
