Kuan Yin 1933

“Kuan Yin” is a 1933 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist renowned for his mystical and spiritual landscapes. The work depicts the bodhisattva Kuan Yin, a figure of compassion and mercy in Buddhist tradition, amidst a dramatic backdrop of towering snow-capped mountains. Roerich’s use of vibrant colors, particularly the azure sky and the contrasting white snow, creates a sense of otherworldly serenity. This painting exemplifies Roerich’s interest in Eastern philosophy and his signature style, characterized by symbolic imagery and a strong connection to nature.
