Star of Mother of the World 1924

"Star of Mother of the World" (1924) by Nicholas Roerich is a landscape painting that showcases the artist's signature style of symbolist realism. The artwork depicts a caravan of camels traversing a vast, undulating desert landscape under a pale blue sky. The silhouetted figures and muted color palette evoke a sense of tranquility and spirituality, aligning with Roerich's interest in Eastern philosophy and the search for a "Mother of the World" figure. The painting is a prime example of Roerich's artistic vision, combining spiritual themes with evocative imagery, and is now housed in the Roerich Museum in Moscow, Russia.
