The artwork, titled “Devita,” was created by artist Nicholas Roerich in 1932. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized within the landscape genre.
In “Devita,” the viewer is presented with a serene mountainous landscape, characterized by a striking blend of cool blues and purples. The towering peaks, majestic and snow-covered, rise against a clear sky, their rugged and angular formations bathed in the soft light of what appears to be early morning or late afternoon. Midway through the composition, wisps of fog hover, creating a sense of depth and mystique. The foreground is dominated by rolling, shadowed hills and icy formations, tapering into the geometric patterns of distant valleys. Roerich’s use of color and light creates a tranquil yet awe-inspiring atmosphere, capturing the ethereal beauty of the natural world.
