About Everest

The artwork titled “Everest” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1937. This piece, executed on canvas with tempera, represents the Symbolism art movement. It measures 31 by 46 centimeters and falls within the landscape genre. Presently, the artwork is housed in the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga, Latvia.

The artwork captures a tranquil and majestic view of mountainous peaks, likely inspired by the iconic Mount Everest. The dominant shades of blue create a serene atmosphere, with the silhouettes of the mountains bathed in the soft hues of the sky. The minimalist approach and smooth transitions between the tones emphasize the mystical and symbolic essence of the mountains, evoking a sense of calm and timelessness. The overall composition reflects Roerich’s profound connection with nature and his ability to convey its spiritual and contemplative qualities.
