Himalayas 1939

"Himalayas" (1939) by Nicholas Roerich is a striking landscape painting showcasing the artist's fascination with the Himalayas. Roerich, renowned for his mystical and spiritual landscapes, captures the grandeur of the mountains using a vibrant blue palette. The sharp peaks, rendered in white, pierce the sky, while the surrounding valleys are depicted in deep blues, creating a sense of vastness and awe. This painting, currently located in the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, reflects Roerich's belief in the spiritual significance of nature and its power to inspire.
