The artwork titled “Hills” by Nicholas Roerich, created in 1915, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene and bucolic landscape, dominated by rolling hills and sparse vegetation. The hills are painted with earthy tones of greens and browns, interspersed with patches of darker shades, suggesting areas of shadow and texture. The sky above is rendered in soft hues of blue, gently transitioning into lighter tones towards the horizon, with wisps of white clouds scattered across. The simplicity and harmony of the composition evoke a sense of calm and timeless beauty, characteristic of Roerich’s delicate portrayal of natural scenery.
