Hidden Treasure 1917

"Hidden Treasure" (1917), by Nicholas Roerich, is a landscape painting characterized by vibrant colors and a sense of mystery. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene with a fiery red sky over a calm lake. The jagged cliffs flanking the lake create a sense of hidden depths and allude to the "treasure" hinted at in the title. Roerich, known for his use of symbolism, likely incorporated these elements to convey a broader message about the search for spiritual knowledge or hidden truths. The painting is currently on display at the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City.
