Fire 1943

"Fire" is a 1943 painting by Nicholas Roerich, showcasing a mystical landscape of a mountain range under a starlit sky, viewed through an archway. The scene is bathed in cool blues, with a touch of warmth from a single burning fire, highlighting the contrast between the cool and tranquil night and the burning energy of the fire. Roerich, known for his exploration of spirituality and symbolism in art, evokes a sense of awe and the sublime with this evocative landscape. The painting currently resides in the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, Russia.
