Chan-Thang. Northern Tibet. 1939

"Chan-Thang. Northern Tibet." is a 1939 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist known for his mystical landscapes and theosophical themes. The artwork depicts a vast expanse of snow-covered mountains against a vibrant blue sky, showcasing Roerich's signature style of simplified forms and evocative color. This work is one of many created during his travels through Asia, capturing the grandeur and serenity of the Himalayan region. The small silhouettes of tents in the foreground add a touch of human presence to the otherwise majestic and isolated landscape. Today, "Chan-Thang. Northern Tibet" resides in the State Museum of Oriental Art, Moscow, Russia.
