“Stupa” is an artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1933. Employing canvas and tempera as mediums, this Symbolist landscape painting measures 14 x 33 cm.
The artwork presents a stupa silhouetted against a backdrop of undulating mountains. The composition captures a serene and somber moment as the dim twilight sky transitions from shades of yellow to deep blue. The stupa, central to the scene, stands solemnly, exuding a sense of spiritual significance and tranquility. The distant mountains, shrouded in mist, enhance the ethereal quality of the artwork, creating a harmonious balance between the natural world and the symbolic monument. This painting epitomizes Roerich’s characteristic style of infusing landscapes with a profound sense of mysticism and introspection.
