"Krishna-Lel" (1935) by Nicholas Roerich depicts a serene pastoral scene. A figure, likely Krishna, plays a flute while surrounded by sheep and a vibrant landscape. The painting is characterized by Roerich's signature style, blending elements of Symbolism and Art Nouveau with a focus on nature's spiritual energy. The use of vibrant colors and flowing lines creates a dreamlike atmosphere, evocative of the Hindu epic the Mahabharata. The painting is housed in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Fine Arts, where it continues to captivate viewers with its mystical beauty.
