Bharagarh Fort 1929

"Bharagarh Fort" is a 1929 oil painting by Nicholas Roerich, depicting a mountainous landscape with a dramatic sense of scale. The painting uses a limited palette of cool blues and browns, with a touch of white snow atop the peaks. The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, conveying the ruggedness of the terrain. This landscape painting is a good example of Roerich's later style, which combined realistic observation with a sense of mystical symbolism. The painting is currently held by the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City.
