The artwork titled “Glaciers of Himalayas” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in 1937. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene and majestic view of the Himalayan glaciers. The mountainous expanse is rendered in a palette of deep blues and purples. The jagged peaks are accentuated by sharp contrasts of light and shadow, capturing the ethereal beauty of the snow-capped ranges. Above, the sky transitions from a soft gradient of ochres to a luminous gold, adorned with cotton-like clouds. The piece evokes a sense of tranquility and awe, reminiscent of the silent grandeur of nature. The meticulous composition and use of color work in harmony to illustrate the profound and symbolic nature of the Himalayas.
