Karelian landscape 1917

"Karelian Landscape" (1917) by Nicholas Roerich, is a serene depiction of a lake and hills, with a sky dominated by expansive clouds. The painting's composition is characterized by a horizontal arrangement, emphasizing the vastness of the scene. The muted color palette, featuring blues, greens, and grays, contributes to the tranquil mood, reflecting Roerich's interest in the landscapes of his native Russia, specifically Karelia. This work is a prime example of Roerich's landscape painting style, known for its harmonious balance of realism and symbolism.
