“Sandoling. Lamayura,” created by Nicholas Roerich around 1926, is a notable work exemplifying the Symbolism art movement and belongs to the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a rugged, mountainous terrain, indicative of the highlands with reddish-brown hues dominant in the landscape. The visual composition showcases a cluster of modest structures nestled against the backdrop of sharply defined, rocky formations. The juxtaposition of these buildings with the natural elements creates a contrast that emphasizes both the harshness and beauty of the environment. The sky above, painted with soft clouds, adds a sense of depth and serenity to the scene. The painting exudes a mystical and almost ethereal quality, characteristic of Roerich’s symbolic and thoughtful approach to art.
