About Call of the Sky

The artwork titled “Call of the Sky” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1935. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the cloudscape genre.

The artwork presents a dramatic night scene marked by a striking display of lightning bolts illuminating the sky. The jagged lines of lightning contrast sharply against the dark backdrop, casting an ethereal glow over the silhouetted mountain peaks below. The dominant hues of deep blues and blacks create an atmosphere of both awe and mystery, inviting the viewer to contemplate the grandeur of nature’s forces. Roerich’s masterful use of light and shadow, combined with the powerful imagery of the lightning, evokes a sense of the sublime, characteristic of the Symbolism movement.
