The artwork titled “Lake Vular” is a tempera painting on cardboard created by Nicholas Roerich in 1925. This piece falls under the Symbolism art movement and depicts a landscape genre. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
In the artwork, one observes a tranquil and expansive lake reflecting the serene hues of the sky above. The foreground is dominated by the calm, glassy surface of the lake, capturing delicate reflections of the surrounding environment. The backdrop consists of a series of majestic mountains, their peaks adorned with snow, creating a stark contrast against the softer tones of the surrounding terrain. The use of tempera on cardboard brings a unique texture and depth to the landscape, further accentuating the peaceful, almost otherworldly atmosphere characteristic of the Symbolism movement. The overall composition exudes a sense of stillness and contemplation, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the natural scene.
