The artwork titled “Corridors of the Castle. Dungeons,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1913, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of design.
This evocative piece depicts a haunting and mystical scene within a castle’s dungeons. The artwork is enveloped in a palette dominated by rich purples and blues, interspersed with touches of light that enhance the depth and texture of the stone walls and pathways. The winding staircases and archways, meticulously crafted, evoke a sense of mystery and grandeur, characteristic of castle architecture. The use of color and light masterfully creates an atmosphere that is both foreboding and alluring, inviting the observer to explore the depths of this enigmatic subterranean world.
