Ice sphinx 1938

"Ice Sphinx," painted by Nicholas Roerich in 1938, is a striking depiction of a snow-capped mountain range. The artist, known for his mystical and spiritual landscapes, captures the grandeur and power of nature with bold brushstrokes and a limited color palette. The dominant blue hues evoke a sense of cold, distant beauty, while the white snow emphasizes the vastness of the mountains. Roerich’s style is often characterized by its symbolism and connection to ancient cultures, creating a sense of reverence and awe.
