The artwork, titled “Nagchu, Tibet,” was created by Nicholas Roerich around the year 1928. Rendered using the medium of wood and tempera, this piece aligns with the Symbolism art movement and depicts a landscape genre.
In this artwork, a serene landscape of Nagchu, Tibet, is portrayed with an emphasis on muted colors and soft brushstrokes. The dominant hues of blue and purple convey a tranquil and ethereal ambiance. The composition features a mountainous backdrop under an expansive sky, with subtle outlines of structures or dwellings nestled at the base of the mountain. The simplicity and subtlety in detail evoke a contemplative and mystical atmosphere, characteristic of Roerich’s symbolic approach to art.
