“Caucasus. Arc Mountain” is an artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1913. Belonging to the Symbolism art movement and the landscape genre, the piece illustrates an evocative interpretation of mountainous terrain.
The artwork portrays a serene, expansive view of the Caucasus mountain range. Dominating the scene, a majestically rendered mountain sweeps across the center, its contours defined by subtle gradients of blue and green. The backdrop features a sky tinged with an ethereal quality, as soft hues of yellow and gray interplay, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The foreground and middle ground are characterized by gently rolling hills, painted in varying shades of green, lending depth and tranquility. This harmonious blend of natural elements and colors encapsulates Roerich’s symbolic and contemplative approach to landscape art.
