The artwork titled “Flowers of Timur (The Lights of Victory)” was created by Nicholas Roerich in the year 1933. The medium of this piece is canvas and tempera, and it is classified under the Symbolism art movement, specifically within the landscape genre. The artwork is currently housed in the State Museum of Oriental Art, Moscow, Russia.
The artwork depicts a striking and serene landscape bathed in deep, ethereal blues. Central to the composition is a monumental tower with finely detailed figures clustered around its base, silhouetted against the sky. At the pinnacle of the tower, a brilliant, almost ethereal flame dances upwards, casting a warm, golden glow. The background features a series of high mountain peaks, adding to the sense of grandeur and isolation. Each peak is topped with a similar glowing light, creating a harmonious balance and continuity across the canvas. The overall atmosphere of the artwork exudes a sense of mysticism and victory, highlighted by the luminous flames that symbolize triumph and enlightenment against the tranquil expanse of the landscape.
