About Rocks of Ladakh

“Rocks of Ladakh” is a landscape artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1933. Belonging to the Symbolism art movement, this painting encapsulates Roerich’s distinctive style and thematic focus.

The artwork depicts a serene landscape with pastel-colored mountains and vast open skies. Dominating the foreground are dark rocks adorned with what seem to be ancient petroglyphs, illustrating human and animal figures in a stylized manner. The mid-ground features rolling hills that gradually rise into sharp, angular mountain peaks bathed in soft hues of pink, purple, and beige. The clear, gradient sky above transitions from a greenish-turquoise to a lighter blue, reflecting the calm and ethereal nature of the scene. This blending of natural elements and symbolic engravings creates a harmonious and contemplative visual experience.
