About Izborsk. Towers.

The artwork titled “Izborsk. Towers,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1903, is a significant piece within the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This cityscape is part of the series “Sketches from travels in old Russian cities.”

The artwork depicts the imposing towers of Izborsk, an ancient Russian fortress town, presented in Roerich’s distinct style. The scene is characterized by the robust, almost monolithic structures of the towers, rendered in dark, earthy hues, which contrast vividly with the lighter background, emphasizing the formidable nature of the architecture. The textured, somewhat impressionistic brushwork captures the aged, weathered surfaces of the towers, evoking a sense of historical depth and resilience. This work not only showcases the architectural splendor of Izborsk but also reflects Roerich’s deep appreciation for Russian cultural heritage.
