“Saint Pantaleon the Healer” is an artwork by Nicholas Roerich, created in 1916. A product of the Symbolism art movement, this religious painting is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork portrays a serene and expansive landscape with rolling hills shaded in hues of green, clad under a vibrant sky adorned with various forms of clouds. Central to the scene is a solitary figure, presumably Saint Pantaleon, depicted in somber attire. The saint appears to be deeply engrossed in an act of healing or contemplation, surrounded by a scattering of flowers and rocks that add detail to the lush terrain. The overall composition conveys a sense of tranquility and spiritual reflection, characteristic of Roerich’s symbolic and mystical style.
