"Ridge. Approaches to Everest" is a 1936 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist known for his mystical landscapes. The artwork depicts a majestic mountain range with snow-capped peaks rising into a yellow sky with faint pink clouds. The use of layered washes and muted colors creates a sense of depth and tranquility. The mountains are rendered in a stylized, almost abstract manner, highlighting the grandeur and awe-inspiring nature of the Himalayas, a region that greatly inspired Roerich.
