About Karelian landscape

The artwork “Karelian Landscape” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in the year 1918. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.

In the artwork, the viewer is presented with a rugged and dynamic portrayal of a natural hillside, characterized by bold, sweeping lines and an earthy color palette dominated by shades of green, brown, and touches of blue in the sky. The brushwork conveys a sense of movement and texture, accentuating the wild and untamed nature of the terrain. The composition is abstract yet evocative, capturing the essence of the landscape with a symbolic representation rather than a realistic depiction, which is characteristic of Roerich’s style within the Symbolism movement.
