Forest 1921

"Forest" is a 1921 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist known for his mystical landscapes and symbolic imagery. The artwork, a vibrant oil on canvas, depicts a dense forest with fantastical creatures and figures hidden among the trees. The dark, almost haunting atmosphere of the forest is punctuated by the bright, golden hues of the ground and the mystical beings, creating a sense of enchantment and mystery. This painting reflects Roerich's fascination with the supernatural and the ancient spiritual traditions of Russia, making it a prime example of his signature style.
