The artwork titled “From Kurul to Karakoram range” is a landscape painting by Nicholas Roerich, created in 1926. Executed on panel using tempera, this piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 30.7 by 36.7 centimeters.
The artwork depicts a majestic mountain range under a clear blue sky. The mountains rise prominently, their peaks adorned with snow, rendered in hues of blue and white. They are painted with a sense of monumental calm and enduring stability, characteristic of Roerich’s style. The foreground appears as a barren expanse, leading the viewer’s gaze into the deeper layers of the painting, eventually reaching the distant peaks. The application of purples and blues creates a harmonious blend, imbuing the scene with a serene, almost mystical quality. This landscape, capturing the transcendental beauty of the Karakoram range, embodies Roerich’s symbolic and spiritual appreciation of nature’s grandeur.
