The artwork titled “Himalayas. Everest” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1938. It is a tempera on canvas piece measuring 46 by 79 cm, associated with the Symbolism art movement. This landscape artwork is currently housed in the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork captures a serene yet majestic view of the Himalayas, dominated by the iconic peaks of Mount Everest, bathed in soft, ethereal light. The sky is painted in gradients of blue and yellow, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and awe. The snow-covered mountains are depicted with sharp contrasts and subtle shading, emphasizing their grandeur and the awe-inspiring natural beauty of this remote region. The simplicity of the forms and the use of color reflect the Symbolist movement’s emphasis on conveying deeper meanings and emotions.
