About Armageddon

The artwork named “Armageddon,” crafted by Nicholas Roerich around 1935, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized within the genre of religious painting.

The artwork vividly portrays a dramatic and apocalyptic scene, characterized by a city engulfed in smoke and fire with hues of yellow, orange, and purple dominating the sky. Silhouettes of numerous figures appear in the foreground, seemingly in motion or in prayer, emphasizing the painting’s religious and symbolic themes. The city itself, perched amidst the chaos, is depicted with angular lines and bold colors, rendering a sense of both destruction and mysticism. This compelling fusion of color and form underlines the symbolic narrative, creating an evocative portrayal of the cataclysmic event referenced in the title.
