About Morning star

The artwork titled “Morning Star,” created in 1932, is a landscape piece by the esteemed artist Nicholas Roerich, who is associated with the Symbolism art movement. This painting features a serene and mystical representation of a mountainous landscape with a vibrant and ethereal sky.

In the artwork, the viewer is presented with majestic mountains that dominate the scene. Various hues of blue, purple, and green blend seamlessly, giving the mountains a dreamlike quality. The peaks are partially shrouded in soft clouds, enhancing the mystical ambience. In the foreground, a series of fortifications or buildings emerge from the rugged terrain, their geometric forms contrasting with the organic shapes of the mountains. The sky overhead transitions from deep green to a lighter, almost celestial glow, with the morning star twinkling in the vast expanse, symbolizing hope and enlightenment. The composition and use of color in the artwork evoke a sense of tranquility and reverence for nature’s grandeur.
