Three arrows 1923

"Three Arrows" (1923) by Nicholas Roerich is a striking landscape painting that showcases the artist's distinctive style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms. The composition features a lone figure standing on a rocky outcrop against a backdrop of a vast, pink-hued sky punctuated by swirling clouds. The mountainous forms in the distance and the central figure evoke a sense of solitude and contemplation, perhaps reflecting the artist's own journey through the landscapes of Central Asia. Roerich's painting captures a unique atmosphere of both serenity and mystery, drawing the viewer into a world of ancient wisdom and spiritual exploration.
