“Timur Khada” is an artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1936. The piece is a tempera painting on canvas and belongs to the Symbolism movement, categorized within the landscape genre.
The artwork presents a majestic mountain range portrayed in vivid hues of purple, orange, and yellow. The jagged peaks dominate the scene, set against a softly lit sky with gentle clouds. The range transitions from darker shades at the base to lighter tones towards the summit, evoking a sense of sunrise or sunset. Subtle variations in color and texture imbue the mountains with an almost ethereal quality, capturing the mystical essence often found in Roerich’s work. The artist’s use of tempera gives the piece a distinct, matte finish, enhancing the impression of solidity and permanence in the landscape.
