The artwork “Mongolia,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1927, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape painting.
The artwork presents a tranquil yet majestic landscape, characterized by an array of serene blues and purples. Roerich depicts the vast Mongolian terrain with imposing mountain silhouettes that dominate the background. Above, the clouds in the sky are gently illuminated, adding a dynamic element to the scene. The blend of light and shadow creates a harmonious balance, reflecting the essence of the Mongolian landscape. The tranquil water in the foreground and the cloud-laden sky contribute to a sense of calm and contemplation, typical of Roerich’s symbolic and contemplative style.
