The artwork titled “Windmill,” created by Nicholas Roerich around 1910, is a landscape piece that belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement.
The artwork depicts a rustic windmill, rendered with warm, earthy tones and a loose, expressive brushwork, reflecting the distinctive style of the Art Nouveau movement. The windmill stands prominently against a backdrop of a softly hued sky, with fluffy clouds providing a contrasting texture and depth to the scene. The structure itself is detailed yet dreamlike, characterized by a whimsical and almost ethereal quality that Roerich masterfully evokes. The overall composition exudes a serene and pastoral atmosphere, capturing the timeless essence of a countryside landscape.
