The artwork, titled “Ferns,” was created by Nicholas Roerich circa 1905. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified as a landscape genre. This artwork is currently housed at the Nicholas Roerich Estate Museum in Izvara, Russia.
“Ferns” captures a serene forest scene dominated by the lush greens of the ferns in the foreground. The density and vibrancy of the foliage create a rich tapestry of green hues, contrasting with the dark, towering trees in the background. Sunlight filters through the tree canopy, casting dappled light and shadows that add depth and texture to the scene. The attention to detail in the depiction of the ferns and the forest environment reflects Roerich’s meticulous observation of nature and his ability to convey its tranquil beauty. The composition exudes a sense of peace and undisturbed natural splendor, characteristic of landscapes within the Art Nouveau movement.
