The artwork “Stupa at Chung-Chu” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1928 and belongs to the Symbolism art movement. This landscape painting captures the essence of the spiritual and the natural world, a hallmark of Roerich’s work.
In “Stupa at Chung-Chu,” a prominent stupa stands against the backdrop of a serene landscape, bathed in hues of blue and yellow. The stupa, with its distinct architectural elements, is depicted with an emphasis on form and structure, suggestive of both solidity and transcendence. The surrounding buildings and natural formations complement the central figure of the stupa, creating a harmonious composition. The use of color and light in the artwork conveys a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere, inviting the viewer to reflect on the spiritual significance of the scene.
