The artwork, titled “Winter,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1914. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the genre of design. Currently, this piece resides in a private collection.
In the artwork, a wintery landscape is depicted with a dominant castle-like structure positioned centrally, its red hues contrasting starkly against the predominantly cool tones of the surroundings. This fortress exudes a sense of isolation amidst the broad expanse of snow-covered fields. To the right, a sculpted stone cross stands prominently, lending a sense of historical or cultural significance. The distant hills and a vast sky filled with dynamic cloud formations complete the scene, together creating a serene yet evocative atmosphere. The painting effectively captures the stillness and solitude of winter, evoking contemplation and a deep connection with nature.
