Koksar 1944

"Koksar" is a 1944 painting by Nicholas Roerich, showcasing his distinctive style of depicting the grandeur of the Himalayas. The artwork, currently housed in the National Gallery for Foreign Art in Sofia, Bulgaria, is a panoramic landscape, with a foreground of ochre-toned hills leading to a cluster of white buildings, likely a monastery, nestled at the base of towering purple and gold mountains. The painting embodies Roerich's artistic philosophy, emphasizing the spiritual connection between nature and humanity in the context of the mystical landscapes of Central Asia.
