Tsar 1905

"Tsar" (1905) is a woodcut by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist known for his mystical and symbolic imagery. The artwork depicts a scene of a seated Tsar surrounded by soldiers, all rendered in bold black, white, and orange tones, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. Roerich's stylized figures and geometric patterns create a powerful, almost theatrical representation of imperial power, often associated with his later works exploring themes of spirituality and Eastern culture.
