Glow 1914

"Glow" (1914) by Nicholas Roerich, is a captivating painting that depicts a medieval castle silhouetted against a fiery red sky. The strong diagonal lines of the castle's towers lead the viewer's eye toward the menacing red clouds, creating a sense of impending danger. Roerich's use of bold colors and stark contrasts creates a dramatic and symbolic atmosphere, hinting at a momentous event, a conflict, or a battle. The painting is a testament to Roerich's unique style, blending elements of Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and Russian folk art, making it a captivating and evocative work.
