The artwork titled “Fight,” created by artist Nicholas Roerich in the year 1928, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is classified as a mythological painting.
The artwork portrays a dramatic and dynamic scene, featuring a rider on a horse engaged in combat with a formidable figure, possibly a demon or mythical creature. The intensity of the confrontation is highlighted by the vivid use of colors and the fluid, almost surreal, forms that dominate the composition. The background consists of an undulating landscape with hues of blue and yellow, offering a stark contrast to the fiery, ethereal glow enveloping the central figures. The overall effect is one of a mythical narrative brought vividly to life, echoing the symbolic style for which Roerich is renowned.
