The artwork titled “Roses of Heart. Princess Olga” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1923. This symbolic painting is part of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement.
In the artwork, a serene female figure, presumably Princess Olga, is depicted in the foreground holding a bouquet of red roses. She is adorned in flowing robes of muted blue tones and wears a headdress, with a golden halo encircling her head, symbolizing her sanctity. Her expression reflects a sense of calm and introspection. In the background, an intricately detailed medieval cityscape with terracotta-roofed buildings extends upwards, creating a complex and visually captivating scene. The color palette consists mainly of earthy browns, blues, and hints of red, contributing to the overall symbolic and spiritual ambiance of the painting.
