Pskov 1935

"Pskov" is a 1935 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a renowned Russian artist known for his mystical and symbolic landscapes. This artwork, now housed in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Fine Arts, depicts a serene scene of a Russian church under a full moon. The composition features a simple, yet evocative, style, with muted colors and a sense of tranquility. The single figure in the foreground, holding an axe, adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the otherwise peaceful setting, suggesting a blend of history and folklore.
