About Lake

The artwork titled “Lake” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1915. It is part of the Symbolism art movement and falls under the genre of cloudscape.

In “Lake,” Nicholas Roerich presents an evocative scene featuring a majestic display of billowing clouds dominating the sky while a serene lake lies beneath. The clouds, painted in soft shades of white, blue, and gray, create a mesmerizing and almost dreamlike atmosphere. Their expansive and intricate formations lend a sense of grandeur and calm. The distant horizon delineates the lake from the sky, with the lake’s tranquil waters reflecting the subtle hues of the scene above. The subdued yet varied color palette captures the essence of tranquility, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the peaceful ambiance of the artwork. Roerich’s masterful manipulation of light and shadow, coupled with his delicate brushwork, emphasizes the symbolic and ethereal quality of the landscape.
