The painting of the western wall of the chapel of St. Anastasia 1913

This mural, painted in 1913 by Nicholas Roerich, depicts the western wall of the chapel of St. Anastasia. The mural showcases Roerich's signature style, blending elements of Russian iconography and Art Nouveau. The central window framed by a blue archway with intricate decorative motifs suggests a spiritual portal. On either side of the window, two figures, likely angels or saints, stand with their hands raised in prayer or blessing. The mural’s color palette is muted and atmospheric, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. This painting is a striking example of Roerich's religious art, capturing the essence of spirituality and symbolic representation.
