The artwork “Himalayas. Pink Peaks,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1947, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
The artwork vividly depicts the majestic peaks of the Himalayas bathed in a subtle pink hue. The soft gradient of the sky transitions from a pale blue at the horizon to a deeper shade further up, suggesting early morning or late evening light. The mountains rise prominently with their summits sharply defined, capturing the rugged and imposing beauty of these grand natural structures. The use of cool tones juxtaposed with the warm pink highlights creates a serene yet awe-inspiring visual effect, characteristic of Roerich’s mystical and symbolic approach to landscapes.
