Sorcerers 1905

"Sorcerers" is a 1905 painting by Nicholas Roerich that depicts two figures in a snowy landscape, each wearing a fur garment. The figures appear to be hunters who have killed and are carrying a large animal, perhaps a wolf or bear. Roerich, a Russian painter and writer, was known for his mystical and symbolic style, and this work reflects his interest in folklore and the spiritual aspects of nature. The painting's dramatic composition and dark colors create a sense of mystery and power. The work is now located in the Museum of Russian Art in Kyiv, Ukraine, which holds a significant collection of the artist's paintings.
