About The Church in the name of St. Sergius in America

“The Church in the name of St. Sergius in America,” crafted by Nicholas Roerich in 1931, is a landscape artwork emblematic of the Symbolism art movement. Utilizing tempera on canvas, this painting is currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.

The artwork presents a serene depiction of an Orthodox church, situated atop a gentle hill. Its architectural form, with a prominent dome crowned by a cross, is rendered in soft shades of blue and white, creating a tranquil and ethereal ambiance. The simplicity of the color palette and the gentle curves of the landscape evoke a sense of spiritual calm and introspection. The sky, painted in light, almost transparent hues, further contributes to the overall mood of peace and transcendence.
