"Sacred Island" is a 1917 painting by Russian artist Nicholas Roerich, known for his mystical and symbolic landscapes. The painting depicts a solitary island, its rocky cliffs appearing almost human-like, reflecting the artist's interest in the spiritual power of nature. The warm hues of the sunset sky contrast with the cool blues of the water, creating a sense of both tranquility and drama. The small boat in the distance adds a touch of human presence to the otherwise grand and imposing scene, making it a captivating example of Roerich's unique style.
