Mongolian yurtas (1936) by Nicholas Roerich

The artwork, titled “Mongolian Yurtas,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1936. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.

The painting depicts a serene landscape featuring traditional Mongolian yurtas nestled against an expansive backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountains under a wide sky. The scene is rendered in muted earth tones, with soft, blended colors conveying a sense of tranquility and harmony. The yurtas, small and seemingly fragile, stand in quiet contrast to the vast, undulating scenery, symbolizing the connection between human dwellings and the natural world.
