The artwork, titled “Krishna. Magic flute.”, was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1938. This piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the genre of religious painting.
In the artwork, the central figure is depicted against a backdrop of majestic, snow-capped mountains, exuding a serene and ethereal atmosphere. The figure, likely intended to represent Krishna, is seated and playing a flute, an instrument often associated with Krishna in Hindu mythology. The use of bold colors and striking contrasts in the painting amplifies the symbolic nature of the piece, highlighting the spiritual and mystical essence of the subject. The composition, with its harmonious blend of natural elements and divine iconography, invites viewers into a realm of contemplation and reverence.
