Cliff 1917

Nicholas Roerich’s “Cliff” from 1917 is a striking example of his artistic style. The painting depicts a dramatic, imposing cliff face against a soft, pale sky. The artist’s use of bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors creates a sense of depth and texture. Roerich’s work often reflected his interest in the spiritual and the mystical, evident in his depiction of the natural world, and in this piece, the solitary cliff seems to evoke a sense of awe and mystery.
