Elders Gathering 1898

"Elders Gathering" is a painting by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist known for his mystical and symbolic works. The artwork, created in 1898, depicted a gathering of elderly figures in a dimly lit, rugged landscape. Though the artwork was destroyed, its subject matter highlights Roerich's interest in the wisdom and spirituality of elders, a common theme in his artistic output. The composition, likely showcasing a group of figures huddled together, hinted at a sense of community and shared experiences. The use of a dark palette and a sense of mystery in the image contributed to the work's mystical and introspective tone.
