The artwork titled “Polovtsian Camp” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1914. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork depicts a somber and serene Polovtsian encampment, characterized by its traditional yurts with intricate patterns and the surrounding rugged landscape. The scene is enveloped in an overcast sky, rendered in monochromatic tones that evoke a sense of mystique and tranquility. Ethereal banners or standards, faintly visible against the sky, add an air of solemnity and tradition to the scene. The overall composition reflects Roerich’s skillful blend of design elements and atmospheric mood, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.
