About Himalayas (study)

The artwork titled “Himalayas (study)” was created by Nicholas Roerich around the year 1930. This piece falls within the Symbolism movement and serves as a sketch and study rather than a finished work.

The artwork presents a tranquil yet majestic depiction of the Himalayas, rendered in shades of blue. The composition features prominent mountain peaks, defined with bold strokes, emerging against a serene, almost ethereal sky. The choice of blue hues gives the scene an atmospheric, dreamy quality, while the textures and contours suggest the rugged, imperious nature of the mountainous terrain. This study reflects Roerich’s fascination with the grandeur of the Himalayas and emphasizes the mystical and spiritual essence often associated with these towering formations.
