Alexander Nevsky 1942

"Alexander Nevsky" is a 1942 painting by Nicholas Roerich, depicting the famous Russian military leader. The painting, featuring a striking red and yellow sunset sky above a snow-covered battlefield, showcases Roerich's signature style of stylized figures and bold geometric shapes. The heroic figures of Alexander Nevsky and his knights are juxtaposed against the fallen enemy soldiers, creating a dramatic and evocative scene. This piece, currently housed in the Kedzhrivala Collection in Bangalore, exemplifies Roerich's interest in historical themes and his uniquely artistic vision.
