Royal monastery 1932

"Royal Monastery" (1932) by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian painter and traveler, depicts a serene nighttime scene of a monastery nestled in a mountainous landscape. The painting is characterized by a striking use of color, particularly the vivid blue of the night sky, contrasting with the green and purple hues of the mountains. Roerich was known for his fascination with Eastern cultures and spirituality, which are reflected in the majestic depiction of the monastery and the starry sky. The artwork, currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, embodies the artist's signature style and evokes a sense of tranquility and mystical grandeur.
