The artwork “Kangchenjunga. Mountain lakes,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1931, is a distinguished piece within the Symbolism art movement and belongs to the landscape genre.
The artwork portrays a tranquil natural scene dominated by a series of mountain ridges and majestic peaks, likely representing the Kangchenjunga mountain range. The foreground features serene mountain lakes, depicted in varying shades of blue and green, providing a contrast to the stark, snow-covered mountains in the background. The color palette is subdued, primarily consisting of earthy tones juxtaposed with the icy whites and blues of the distant peaks. The composition evokes a sense of calm and reverence for the grandeur of the natural world, characteristic of Roerich’s style and the Symbolism movement.
