Himalayas 

Here, Nicholas Roerich presents the Himalayas, capturing their majestic presence with a palette dominated by blues and yellows. The mountain as a symbol transcends cultures; it is a place of spiritual ascent. The form of the mountain has resonated across epochs. We see echoes of its symbolism in the ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia and the pyramids of Egypt, each a man-made mountain striving towards the heavens. Even in the simple steeple of a church, we find this upward yearning made manifest. The mountain is more than a geological formation. It evokes a primal response—a place where earth meets sky, grounding meets aspiration. The simple, timeless shape becomes a vessel, filled with the collective longing for something beyond our immediate reach. Roerich, through his rendering of the Himalayas, taps into this ancient visual language.
