The artwork, titled “Glacier,” is a landscape created by the artist Nicholas Roerich and belongs to the Symbolism art movement.
The artwork portrays a dramatic mountain landscape, characterized by its towering, jagged peaks covered in glacial ice and snow. The palette predominantly comprises shades of blue and white, which emphasize the cold and serene environment. The mountains rise steeply with sharp, angular formations, conveying a sense of majesty and otherworldly beauty. The depiction of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, suggesting a clear, crisp atmosphere often associated with high altitudes and untouched natural landscapes. Through this composition, Roerich not only captures the awe-inspiring beauty of glacial terrains but also evokes a sense of mystery and spirituality, hallmarks of the Symbolism movement.
