The artwork titled “Remember,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1924, is executed with tempera on canvas. Measuring 87.6 by 117 cm, this piece is part of the Symbolism movement and belongs to the “His Country” series. This landscape painting is currently housed at the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork depicts a scene marked by the expansive and majestic presence of snow-capped mountains in the background, rendered in subtle, soft hues of blue and white. The foreground features a solitary figure on horseback, dressed in a colorful garment, riding through a barren, sunlit terrain. To the right of the composition stands a small, humble dwelling with distinctive architectural features, possibly symbolizing a link to a bygone era or a distant culture. The juxtaposition of the human element against the awe-inspiring backdrop of nature evokes a sense of both contemplation and reverence for the lofty landscape.
