The artwork, titled “Banner of Peace,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1931. It is executed using tempera on canvas and measures 57 by 197 centimeters. This landscape belongs to the Symbolism movement.
In the artwork, an expanse of snow-capped peaks fills the upper portion, capturing the majestic beauty and serenity of the mountains. The foreground features a prominent dark rock marked by a circle with three dots inside, a symbol often associated with Roerich’s peace work. The harmonious tones of blues and whites dominate the piece, illustrating a tranquil yet powerful natural landscape. The minimalistic representation exudes a sense of calm and timelessness, inherent in many symbolic works.
