About Pechora. Vestry.

The artwork titled “Pechora. Vestry.” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1903. It is an oil painting on panel and belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. The painting is categorized as a cityscape and forms part of the series “Sketches from Travels in Old Russian Cities.” Currently, it is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.

The artwork vividly depicts a section of a traditional Russian cityscape, focusing primarily on architectural elements. Dominating the composition is a structure adorned with a dark cupola, rendered in rich, deep hues. The facade, painted a bold red, features symmetry through its rectangular windows, accented with decorative white molding that frames them. Adjacent to this vibrant structure is a smaller, more subdued building depicted in white, with rounded arches, which provides a harmonious contrast. The interplay of architectural details and colors captures the essence of the local heritage and emphasizes the cultural importance of these historical edifices.
