The artwork, titled “Kangchenjunga,” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in 1947. Belonging to the Symbolism movement, this piece is classified as a landscape genre.
“Kangchenjunga” depicts a majestic mountain range with snow-capped peaks under a clear sky. The grandeur of the mountains is conveyed through the contrasting deep purple hues of the foothills and the luminous whites of the summits. The image’s ethereal quality is enhanced by the presence of soft, mist-like formations in the foreground, which imbue the scene with a sense of serenity and mysticism. Roerich’s use of color and form illustrates his symbolic interpretation of nature’s sublime beauty and power.
