Waves of fog 1924

"Waves of Fog" is a landscape painting created by Nicholas Roerich in 1924. The painting features a majestic mountain range covered in mist, with a towering stupa, a Buddhist shrine, in the foreground. Roerich, a Russian painter, was inspired by his extensive travels through Asia, where he witnessed the rich culture and spirituality of the East. The use of subtle colors and atmospheric perspective creates a sense of tranquility and reverence, characteristic of his "Himalayan" period. The painting is currently housed in the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City, offering a glimpse into Roerich's fascination with Eastern spirituality and the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Himalayas.
