Sacred Himalayas 1934

"Sacred Himalayas" (1934) by Nicholas Roerich depicts the majestic Himalayas, showcasing the artist's signature style. The painting, now housed in the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, features a prominent snow-capped mountain range against a pale sky. Roerich's use of vibrant, saturated colors, especially purples, emphasizes the spiritual and symbolic nature of the Himalayas, a key theme in his artwork. The composition highlights the vastness and grandeur of the landscape, reflecting Roerich's fascination with the cultural and spiritual heritage of Asia.
