About Tibet stronghold

The artwork titled “Tibet Stronghold,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1932, employs the medium of tempera on canvas. This piece is classified within the Symbolism art movement and fits within the landscape genre.

The artwork presents an imposing structure set against the backdrop of a clear, star-studded sky. The fortification, built on a rugged hill, is characterized by its strong, angular lines and solid, almost austere appearance. The use of tempera allows for vibrant colors; the structure itself catches the eye with its shades of purples and blues, contrasting against the deep, tranquil sky. The overall atmosphere is one of mysticism and grandeur, evoking the isolation and strength of the Tibetan stronghold. The stars scattered across the sky add a sense of vastness and timelessness, further enhancing the symbolic nature of the piece.
