About Study of mountains

The artwork titled “Study of Mountains,” created around 1930 by the artist Nicholas Roerich, belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.

In the artwork, a tranquil depiction of mountainous terrain is presented in a style characteristic of Symbolist aesthetics. The palette is primarily composed of various hues of blue and grey, evoking a serene and dreamlike atmosphere. The mountains, majestic yet understated, rise in layered silhouettes, their rugged texture juxtaposed against a smooth, ethereal sky. The composition evokes a sense of calm and contemplation, inviting viewers to reflect on the spiritual and the sublime qualities of the natural world. The subtle gradation of colors and the minimalist approach underscores the spiritual introspection inherent in Roerich’s work, making this piece a vivid representation of his Symbolist tendencies.
