The artwork titled “Study to ‘Ienno-Guio-Dia – friend of travelers,'” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1925, belongs to the Symbolism art movement. This artwork, which falls under the genre of sketch and study, is part of a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene mountainous landscape, characterized by prominent peaks and vast expanses of rugged terrain. Swathed in varying shades of blue and brown, the mountains dominate the composition, leading the eyes towards the snow-capped peaks in the distance. The artist’s use of soft contours and muted colors evokes a sense of tranquility and respect for nature’s grandeur. The study’s attention to detail while maintaining an ethereal quality appropriately reflects the Symbolist movement’s emphasis on representing the unseen and the mystical.
