Yaroslavl. Entrance to the St. Nicholas Wet Church. 1903

Nicholas Roerich's 1903 painting, "Yaroslavl. Entrance to the St. Nicholas Wet Church", is a vibrant depiction of the entrance to the titular church in Yaroslavl, Russia. This oil on canvas painting, now housed in the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, captures the ornate details of the church’s architecture, focusing on the intricately carved wooden archway, the rich, red-brown roof tiles, and the contrasting blue-green of the sky. Roerich's dynamic brushstrokes and use of color convey the architectural grandeur and historical significance of this iconic Russian landmark.
