The artwork titled “Jyagong” is a landscape painted by Nicholas Roerich in 1928, positioned within the Symbolism art movement. It measures 32.7 by 42.9 cm and is presently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, the viewer is presented with a serene yet majestic landscape dominated by a series of towering mountains. These mountains, cloaked in hues of blue and white, suggest snow-covered peaks, while their sharp, angular forms create a striking contrast against the softer, undulating foreground of rolling plains. The plains, painted in warm, earthy tones of brown and gold, lead the eye towards the distant horizon. Above, a vast, cloudy sky stretches endlessly, adding a sense of expanse and tranquility to the scene. Roerich’s brushstrokes convey a delicate balance between detail and abstraction, encapsulating the mystical and symbolic essence of the natural world.
