St. Sergius Hermitage 1933

"St. Sergius Hermitage" is a 1933 painting by Russian artist Nicholas Roerich. The work depicts two churches on a hillside with a sweeping view of the sky. The painting's bright colors and stylized forms are characteristic of Roerich's artistic style, known as "Roerichism," which is a fusion of realism and symbolism, often referencing themes of spirituality and nature. The artist's interest in the spirituality of the Russian Orthodox Church is clear in the depiction of the churches as they dominate the landscape.
