About Beyond the seas there are the great lands (Daughter of viking)

The artwork titled “Beyond the Seas There Are the Great Lands (Daughter of Viking)” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1915. This mythological painting, executed in tempera on cardboard, is a striking example of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is currently held at the Roerich Museum in Moscow, Russia.

In the artwork, a serene landscape unfolds, featuring vast expanses of land and sea bathed in diffuse, ethereal light. The foreground is dominated by a golden-hued meadow scattered with rocks. A single, large, moss-covered boulder stands to the left, adding a sense of permanence and solidity to the scene. To the right, a female figure, presumably the “Daughter of Viking,” stands in traditional attire, gazing out over the tranquil waters. The distant horizon is marked by a soft gradient of pastel skies, underscoring the sense of otherworldly calm and the promise of unexplored lands beyond. The use of subdued color tones and gentle brushstrokes creates a dreamlike atmosphere, evoking a feeling of myth and legend.
