About Manasbal Lake

“Manasbal Lake,” painted by Nicholas Roerich in 1925, is an exquisite example of the Symbolism art movement. This landscape artwork captures the serene and majestic essence of its titular location.

The artwork delineates a stunning mountainous terrain with layers of rugged peaks enveloping the tranquil lake. The composition beautifully contrasts the light and shadow across the ridges, offering depth and dimension to the landscape. The mountains in the foreground are depicted in warmer, earth tones, gradually transitioning to cooler hues as the peaks ascend into the distant horizon. The masterful use of color and texture embodies the mystical and symbolic aspects characteristic of Roerich’s work.
