About Evening

“Evening” is a landscape artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1924. Falling under the Symbolism art movement, the artwork encapsulates the artist’s vision and narrative through his symbolic treatment of natural elements.

The artwork portrays a serene, twilight scene of a mountainous landscape enveloped in mist and clouds. The foreboding ridges and peaks emerge subtly from the enveloping haze, rendered in somber hues of grey and soft blues, capturing the tranquil yet mysterious essence of the evening. In contrast, the distant mountains are bathed in a soft, luminous light, adding a delicate glow to the overall composition. This juxtaposition of darkness and light enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, inviting contemplation and evoking a sense of introspective calm.
