The artwork titled “Flowers of Timur (The Lights of Victory)” by the artist Nicholas Roerich is created using tempera on cardboard. Belonging to the Symbolism art movement, this landscape genre piece measures 30.5 by 44 cm.
In the artwork, one observes a serene yet majestic landscape dominated by a prominent rock formation that supports a vivid, golden flame. This flame, issuing forth with dynamism, contrasts sharply with the serene green-blue background, evoking a sense of triumph and mystical victory. In the distance, soft, snow-capped mountain peaks are visible under a tranquil, star-speckled sky, further enhancing the ethereal atmosphere of the scene. The composition evokes a sense of timeless mysticism and victory, true to the Symbolist tradition.
