The artwork, titled “Himalayas. Snowy peaks,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1942. It is an exemplary piece from the Symbolism art movement, and it belongs to the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene and majestic view of the Himalayas, showcasing the grandeur of snow-capped peaks under a clear blue sky. The composition highlights vast stretches of snow with towering mountains in the background, rendered in soft yet striking shades of blue and white. The play of light and shadow on the mountains emphasizes the rugged texture and vastness of the landscape. Roerich’s symbolic approach imbues the scene with a sense of spiritual grandeur and timelessness, capturing the mystical beauty of the Himalayas.
