About Went out

The artwork titled “Went out,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1922, is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 102 x 75 cm. This religious painting, done in the Symbolism art movement, is housed at the Roerich Museum in Moscow, Russia.

The painting depicts a serene and mystical landscape dominated by religious architecture, likely Russian Orthodox churches, characterized by their distinctive onion domes and traditional design. The scene is enveloped in an unusual, otherworldly yellow light, imbuing it with a sense of spiritual transcendence. In the foreground, two figures are seen in a boat, possibly illustrating a biblical or allegorical journey. A notable feature within the composition is a luminous apparition on the hillside, further enhancing the painting’s ethereal and symbolic quality. The use of muted, harmonious colors and soft, flowing lines contributes to the overall solemn and contemplative atmosphere of the artwork.
