The artwork titled “Central Himalayas” was created by Nicholas Roerich using tempera on canvas. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a majestic and serene view of the Himalayan mountain range. Towering peaks, cloaked in shades of blue and white, dominate the scene, evoking a sense of grandeur and tranquility. The mountains are presented in a stylized, almost mystical manner, with sharp, angular forms that convey both their beauty and harshness. A greenish sky with soft, yellowish hues provides a gentle backdrop, enhancing the sense of a sublime, otherworldly realm. The overall composition and color palette reflect the artist’s symbolic approach, imbuing the natural landscape with a sense of spiritual and transcendental significance.
