“A depiction of the Cintamani being carried by the Lung Ta (Wind Horse)” is an artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1936. The piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is classified as a mythological painting.
The artwork portrays a mystical scene in vivid, yet harmonious colors. Dominating the background is a range of multicolored mountains with striking hues of pink and orange, bathed in the light of either dawn or dusk. The foreground features the Lung Ta, or Wind Horse, a revered figure in Tibetan mythology symbolizing strength and good fortune. The Wind Horse is depicted ascending a rugged, rocky path, carrying the Cintamani, a radiant, jewel-like object that glows with an ethereal light. The depiction reflects a sense of spiritual harmony, mystical power, and the blending of natural and transcendent realms.
