“Green Fjord” is a landscape artwork created by Nicholas Roerich around 1901. This piece, painted on canvas using tempera, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement.
The artwork depicts a serene and rugged fjord, emphasizing the natural beauty and tranquility of the landscape. The coloring is dominated by hues of green, likely representing lush vegetation, and the entirety of the scene evokes a sense of calmness and untouched nature. There are rocky formations leading down to a body of water, surrounded by green slopes. Overhead, the sky appears partly cloudy, contributing to the overall tranquil ambiance. The composition and use of color reflect Roerich’s skill and mastery in landscape art, harmonizing nature’s raw elements with an artistic vision.
