The artwork, entitled “Krishna,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in the year 1946. It belongs to the Symbolism movement and falls under the genre of religious painting.
The artwork represents Lord Krishna, the revered deity well-known in Hindu mythology, serenely playing a flute while seated upon a verdant slope. Behind him loom majestic, snow-capped mountains, depicted in soft shades of pink and purple, evoking a divine and tranquil atmosphere. The landscape is both grand and serene, harmoniously blending the spiritual and natural elements, effectively encapsulating the mysticism and otherworldly essence characteristic of Symbolism. The overall composition invites quiet reflection, drawing attention both to the serene figure of Krishna and the sublime beauty of the surrounding mountainous expanse.
