Maitreya 1932

"Maitreya," created in 1932 by Nicholas Roerich, depicts a majestic mountain landscape, its peaks capped with snow and a sky filled with wispy clouds. A large, carved stone figure of Maitreya, the future Buddha, dominates the right side of the painting, his face etched with a sense of serenity and wisdom. This artwork is a testament to Roerich's fascination with spiritual and mystical themes, often depicting Buddhist deities and symbols within grand natural settings. The painting evokes a sense of awe and reverence, suggesting a connection between the natural world and the divine.
