Himalayas (study). Holy Himalayas 1933

Nicholas Roerich's "Himalayas (study). Holy Himalayas" from 1933 is a watercolor study of the majestic Himalayan mountain range. The artist, known for his exploration of spirituality and nature, captures the grandeur of the peaks with a muted palette of blue and white against a pale pink sky. The peaks are rendered with a simplified, almost geometric, form, emphasizing their imposing presence against the backdrop of mist and clouds. This work exemplifies Roerich's fascination with the mystical and spiritual aspects of the Himalayas, a place he considered sacred.
