The artwork, titled “Gundla,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1931. This piece, rendered using tempera on canvas, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the landscape genre. It is part of the “Lahaul” series. The painting showcases a majestic mountainous backdrop, depicted with rich, cool shades of blue and gray, which contrast with the warm, earthy tones of the foreground. Nestled within the slopes is a fortified structure, positioned in the lower right, bathed in light and standing out against the more subdued tones of the natural landscape, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between human constructs and the grandeur of nature.
