The artwork “Himalayas. Chain of mountains.” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1942. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a majestic view of the Himalayas, characterized by a series of undulating mountain peaks that stretch across the canvas. The mountains are rendered in deep blues and earthy tones, suggesting the play of light and shadow over their rugged surfaces. A serene, pale sky forms the backdrop, contrasting with the dark, imposing silhouettes of the mountains. Roerich’s use of bold, simplified forms and subtle color gradations creates a harmonious and mystical atmosphere, invoking the grandeur and spiritual essence of the Himalayan range.
