The artwork, titled “Karelian Landscape,” was created by Nicholas Roerich around the year 1917. This piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene and minimalist landscape, primarily focusing on the vastness of the sky and the gentle undulations of the land. The sky is rendered in subdued hues, with soft white clouds and patches of faint blue, creating a sense of calm and expansiveness. The distant horizon is marked by smooth, rolling hills in varying shades of blue and green. The subdued tones and simplistic forms evoke a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on the natural beauty and quietude of the Karelian region.
