Procopius the Righteous is praying of unknown navigating 1914

"Procopius the Righteous is praying of unknown navigating" is a 1914 watercolor painting by Nicholas Roerich. The painting depicts a lone figure in prayer against a backdrop of rolling hills, a winding river, and a distant mountain range. Roerich's signature style is evident in the painting's stylized figures, muted color palette, and emphasis on spiritual themes. The painting, with its focus on a lone figure and a sense of quiet contemplation, evokes a feeling of peace and solitude. The use of vibrant blues and greens in the landscape adds to the painting's serene atmosphere. The painting's title suggests that the figure is praying for safe passage, perhaps on a journey, which is hinted at by the river and boats in the distance.
