Old Pskov 1904

"Old Pskov" (1904) by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist, depicts a harbor scene with a medieval fortress in the background. The painting is characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Red sails dominate the foreground, adding a striking contrast to the muted hues of the fortress and sky. The composition, with the boats clustered together, suggests a sense of activity and a bustling port. The painting is a testament to Roerich's signature style, blending historical and symbolic elements into a powerful visual narrative. It is currently housed in the Horlivka Museum of Fine Arts in Ukraine.
