"Fight" is a 1928 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist, writer and philosopher. The artwork depicts a knight on horseback battling a dragon in the midst of a rugged mountainous landscape. Roerich's style is characterized by dramatic composition, vivid colors and symbolism. The stylized forms of the knight, dragon, and mountains create a sense of grandeur and power, and the vibrant hues, particularly the contrasting warm orange and cool blues, add to the dynamic energy of the scene. This painting reflects Roerich's interest in mythology and his belief in the importance of spiritual values.
