“Miracle,” an artwork by Nicholas Roerich, was created in 1923 in the United States. This piece falls within the Symbolism art movement and is classified as a religious painting. It is part of the “Messiah” series and is currently housed at the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork depicts an awe-inspiring scene set against a backdrop of rugged, colorful mountains. The mountains are painted in warm hues of purple and orange, and they rise dramatically against a sky that is illuminated by an ethereal light. In the foreground, several figures are seen bowing in reverence, dressed in simple white robes. The light emanates from behind a dark rock formation, suggesting a miraculous event unfolding. The composition strikes a balance between the mystical light and the formidable landscape, creating a sense of revelation and spiritual awakening. Roerich’s use of vibrant colors and dynamic forms imbues the scene with a sense of movement and divine presence.
