About Rohtang pass

The artwork, named “Rohtang Pass,” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in the year 1936. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape painting.

The artwork portrays the serene and majestic scenery of the Rohtang Pass. Utilising a palette dominated by hues of blue and purple, Roerich captures the tranquil beauty of the mountainous landscape. The jagged peaks, illuminated by touches of white, rise in the distance against a sky delicately tinged with shades of green and pink. The layered composition guides the viewer’s eye from the detailed foreground to the distant horizon, evoking a sense of depth and vastness. The minimalist yet expressive approach enhances the symbolic quality of the natural environment, reflecting the spiritual and transcendental themes often explored by Roerich in his work.
